Comments on: The Green Police, They…Aren’t All That Funny. http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/02/09/the-green-police-they-arent-all-that-funny/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:34:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: Glynda http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/02/09/the-green-police-they-arent-all-that-funny/#comment-50767 Glynda Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:38:37 +0000 http://www.newsrealblog.com/?p=30690#comment-50767 I loved the Audi ad and my opinion of Audi has really gone up. They are really way ahead of the curve. They successfully poked fun at both sides: the eco-nazis and the unconscious slobs who insist upon their right to pollute. Each side may be offended. Conversely, each side may find the ad 'supporting' their position....."You see! We aren't to far from a eco-police state!" or "You see! Finally those polluting slugs are getting busted!" This diversity of layers (or levels) in the ad increases it's influence tremendously. Then to have a nice Cheap Trick tune bouncing around your head for a few days is the cherry on top!

It's all fun, funny, and good to do to supposed polluters and energy wasters. It might have amused me if a granny ran 'em off her porch with an old goose gun, or they'd shown 'em tryin' that crap in da hood, but those were Americans being euros in the commercial. Did anybody notice anything all the supposed perps had in common in that commercial? If they were all anything else the WB&M (whinin, b*tchin, and moanin), along with the protests and demands for diversity and handouts would be in full swing by the next day. Sometimes ad people go overboard trying to be cutting edge and end up turning off as many as they interest. The company approved it, and I agree, it was a creepy and bad call..

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:43:20 +0000 http://www.newsrealblog.com/?p=30690#comment-50311 Trent, here is the first paragraph of the "Ordnungspolizei" on Wikipedia. "The Ordnungspolizei (Orpo) was the name for the uniformed regular German police force in existence during the period of Nazi Germany, notably between 1936 and 1945. It was increasingly absorbed into the Nazi police system. Owing to their green uniforms, they were also referred to as Grüne Polizei (green police). The Orpo brought together the city and municipal uniformed forces that had been organised on a state-by-state basis and covered the towns and cities whereas the Gendarmerie (in Württemberg known as the Landjäger) covered small towns and rural areas." They were known as the.... drum-roll please.... GREEN POLICE. Trent, here is the first paragraph of the “Ordnungspolizei” on Wikipedia.

No relation? I was referring to the tasteless name use. You missed the point. Consider naming a college mascot the "Nazis" becaue they blitzkrieg. Same poor taste. As for the translation? How so? That was their proper name. Perhaps You would be familiar with their nickname "Orpo". Really? No relation? I was referring to the tasteless name use. You missed the point.

I love this ad because the Clean Deisel is a tweek to the Green's agenda just like clean coal. I love the timing of the TDI the same week the "PIUS" I meen Prius gets a recall. There is a feeling in the green movement that practical ideas like the TDI with a 42 mpg and still using oil in a clean way is not good. Liberals don't want solutions they want problems. david I love you baby but you are wrong.
