Subject:non Van content: Bill G. rides in a VW Golf
From:Kevin Sullivan
Date:Fri, 6 Nov 1998 10:07:36 -0800

Just saw a Quicktime video clip today. It was a remake of the VW Golf commercial 
with the 2 guys who pick up the stinky couch while the 'da-da-da' song plays in the 
background. (who was that band anyway, I remember it getting regular airplay around
the '79-'80 era?).

Anyway, this version appears to be inside-Microsoft since to the driver and passenger 
are Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates respectively. Instead of the couch, they stop to pickup
a Sun Workstation and as the original ad goes, drop it off due to its unappealing stench.

The commercial ends with voiceover "The Internet, it fits your life, or your complete lack
there of" and "On the information highway, there are passengers and there are drivers."

The last screenshot is of the Internet Explorer 'E' with "Drivers Wanted" underneath.
