Okay, not to push the VW brand but this is some of the funniest [advertising](http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/02/22/vw-strikes-again-un-pimp-my-ride-videos/#more-1817) I’ve seen lately. I can’d decide which I like better.

Say vat!.. 😃

Hey! That’s the dude from Prison Break, innit? Funny stuff.

(Oh my…did I just admit I’m still watching Prison Break?)

Peter Stormare. He’s prolific.

_Still_? Do you live in the US? It’s on hiatus here until March 20, when the new season starts.

Can’t wait for more of the Pretty…

The beauty of DVR - I have no seasons. We record everything we like and watch it at our leisure. Although you’re right, we ran out of Prison Breaks a while back and are waiting for them to start up again.

I meant “still” as in, “still putting up with their nonsensical Rube Goldbergian plot devices and looking forward to the new shows in March, rather than giving up on it like any sensible person!”

I really like Peter Stormare, ever since he stole my heart in _Dancer in the Dark_. But it’s sort of funny hearing his Swedish/German accent in these commercials!

(See, I tried to drag the thread back on topic at the end there! Sorry for the hijack!)

A little too [now-is-zee-time-on-Shprockets-ven-ve-dance](http://www.mike-myers.net/gallery/data/media/21/dieter8.jpg) for my tastes, but smashing cars is always cool.
