Tuesday February 20, 2007
Volkswagen has yanked an ad featuring a man standing on the edge of a tall building contemplating jumping. When he hears VW has three cars under $17,000, he gets off the ledge.
More on VW's Ad:
Suicide groups complained to VW, saying they're concerned about the message it sends. The ad aired about half a dozen times on cable networks but VW doesn't plan on editing it. The commercial will be pulled entirely from the airwaves.
