babymaker 3000

I’m doing some work with Volkswagen, and they created this site to promote the new Routan (the one from the Brooke Shields commercials) so I thought I’d share:

When you put in two photos (of your choice of parents), the BabyMaker will crank out a photo of what it believes your “Routan baby” will look like.

Example:

Thoughts?

I don’t have any photos handy, but this raises the opportunity for me to confess that I think those commercials are hilarious, even though they make no sense. Thank goodness Brooke Shields got herself cast on that episode of Friends a decade ago, huh?

I don’t like the commercials, but that is pretty funny.

I think this is what our children will actually look like! He’s a cutie!

Oh, damn, just read the ToS for that little diversion. Ominous.

Not going to quote it in its entirety as I am unable to copy and paste from the applet, but basically using the service gives Volkswagen and their affiliated companies and partners, and here I quote, “unlimited right and permission to use the Photographs, which the Permitted Parties may edit or alter as they see fit.”

I’m so glad that I like to read fine print. I think I’ll pass, thanks, VW.

Damn that’s cool! But for some reason I can’t press the “share with the world”-button. So I’m afraid my and the Princess’ lovechild will be unseen by all :frowning:

Took a while to find some photos I wouldn’t mind anyone having. Sheesh, Volkswagen, personal property appropriation much? But now there is a baby… and the baby does kind of look like my siblings and my niece and nephew. Huh.
Kinda cute.

This doesn’t have anything to do with the op but these vans are made by Chrysler.

Great googly-moogly, that’s an ugly baby! Seriously, I think that thing might be technically mongoloid. That left ear just ain’t lining up right!

Good thing the real life one is much more attractive.:smiley:
