In reality the VW would probably be a good prevention but not because it's bomb proof - it probably wouldn't start when needed. :D

As funny as this is, keep in mind this is NOT a VW commercial.  It was neither produced nor endorsed by VW... instead it is a Viral video that got popular on the internet a few years ago and while produced professionally, was done for demonstration or self-promotional purposes for the company that produced it.

At first VW pursued legal action, but because of the popularity of it they ended up dropping the lawsuits in return for the production company to take it off their website.  I'm surprised YouTube hasn't yanked it yet... but regardless it is a bunch of free promotion for VW.  As Americans, it's easy to laugh about it and enjoy it, but I'd imagine other parts of the world may have other opinions.

Viral Ads are great. These two are hallarious for the Ford Sporka.
