VW Commercial

There is a Volkswagen commercial where a hip, 20 something guy is looking at a Jetta and the alarm goes off. You know the commercial. It's on every 10 minutes. This advertisement bothers me. It took me a bit of time to figure out what it was that bothered me.

The Asian girl is autistic.

No really, I swear she is. The girl has shows no emotion. Watch the commercial again. She is like Rain Man. OK I admit I know little about autism. I should probably say someone is autistic after watching a 30-second commercial 397 times, but the girl is odd. She is either autistic or a robot.

An Asian robot/android brings up some interesting stuff

I have seen way to much anime in my life. I know the cute Asian android chick is always tied to an apocalyptic event. If you have watched any anime you know this is true. Cute Asian robot = End of Man. This is a well-established fact.

I think that VW has built a Cute Asian android. I think they are advertising this in the same way serial killers advertise their crimes. History and anime tell us making girly Asian android is trouble. We all know Germans ability to forget history and arrogantly move forward with a plan of destruction.

I can tell many of you think this is far fetched. You are wondering why would VW do this? Volkswagen refused to allow the new Beetle to be in Transformers: The Live Action Movie because they did not want to be involved with war or violence. Why would they build an apocalyptic robot and placing her in their ads?

Why would Germans build a device of mass destruction? Because they are German.

That is like asking why do the French surrender? Because they are French.

Then again, I could be reading way, way too much into a commercial that I find odd.

I have been right up to this point. Keep that in mind
