Info: This is a 'spec ad', created by leeanddan.com.

Spec ads are 'speculative ads' created to show potential clients what kind of work you're capable of doing. In other words, Volkswagen never endorsed this material.

Lee (of Lee and Dan) says that he wasn't working for Volkswagen, but implies that he made the ad to get Volkswagen's attention. Reportedly the ad cost £40,000.

The fake Volkswagen suicide bomber viral ad has received international media coverage and stimulated a heated debate all over the world. But what do you think about this ad? We want to know.

Latest comment: "These should be issued to ALL MUSLIMS as it will stop their smell from getting out in the open. "

I also think they should show this in extremist sections of the middle east, so they know were making comedy out of thier petty tactics.

Guest: Mary (470 days ago)

I loved it.

Guest: Guest (481 days ago)

I hope they air this in the Middle East. People there should know that despite best efforts to scare other nations we're still able to take their threats, terrorism and boasts and reduce it to nothing more than a car commercial.

I think the concept is great but I think this would have been better if they used a Multivan or Toureag with a group of suicide bombers.

Guest: Adrian (1282 days ago)

I love it. I truly feel that this is one of VW's best commercials made, just wish it came out here in the US.

It happens to be true that all suicide bombers are Muslims. And that they sanction killing anyone (women, children, elderly, non-believers). It is fact and no Muslim can deny it. It happens in Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, France, Spain, the U.S. You don't see Christians going out and blowing themselves up and killing non-believing Muslims in the name of God.

I'm doing a scam ad for a tough 4wd and came up with this exact concept. I told a friend and he sent me this link... I HATE YOU GUYS!!!!This ad is funny, it's not meant to offend. it just happens to be a fact that most car bombers at the moment are Muslims. It's about the idea of a tough car, not about the cause people are killing themselves for.

Brilliant. 72 virgins await. Allah akbar.

Guest: --- (1334 days ago)

I think it shows bad taste.

Guest: O.B.Laden. (1339 days ago)

This is outrageous and offensive. I love it!

Guest: DOUG (1343 days ago)

I'm going out tomorrow to buy one... I can finally commit suicide without bothering anyone else!

Guest: Sadam (1343 days ago)

Holy shit. Offensive. Are you serious? oOfensive... but I must admit, funny!!

Guest: RB (1355 days ago)

This is the bomb!!! VW should do the world a favor and give these cars out to all Muslims. Help them get to their virgins faster it's what they want.

Guest: Osama Bin Laden (1357 days ago)

What is this! This is an outrage! It is sick and offends all of us true Muslims. This car has been tried and tested and we can prove for a fact that it does blow up.

Guest: Costel (1368 days ago)

Don't mix fun with politics! This was really fun, and that's it!

Guest: Michelle (1368 days ago)

This is awful I know but you can't help but laugh!

Guest: sam (1373 days ago)

People shouldn't take things so seriously, that is what black humour or gallows humour is all about and that is its usefulness. We get to laugh about really tragic happenings. With humour we can survive the 'tragedy' of our immediate feelings.

Guest: Sharon Jordan (1373 days ago)

I love it - sent it to everyone I know and make no apologies for doing so. Love to see more of this humor.

Guest: mina k (1373 days ago)

I am not a Muslim, but I think the ad was distasteful.

Guest: arlene (1373 days ago)

If it weren't so sick and truthful, it might be funny. Unfortunately, it comes pretty close to the truth with these barbic people.

Guest: kevin (1373 days ago)

Just coming back from Iraq and buying a VW, I think this is the most hysterical thing I've seen in a while. I laughed my ass off!

Guest: Maik (1373 days ago)

Don't use german cars for terrorism.

Guest: Linda (1373 days ago)

This is pathetic, crass commercialism - suicide and terrorism are not funny, appealing, or saleable to sane people.

Guest: JK (1373 days ago)

Technically excellent and very funny.

Guest: Hazza (1373 days ago)

A truly classic ad.

Guest: Tanya (1373 days ago)

So sick it's hilarious.

Guest: Sue (1373 days ago)

This is really horrible.

Guest: DD (1373 days ago)

This is awesome.

Guest: John M (1373 days ago)

Bad taste.
