I know CPB goes to great lengths to win ad awards but having been in a number of near death car accidents, I found this new CPB campaign rather disturbing...

touches a nerve... emotional...
that's effective advertising.
- tkmeister0
yeah, i did too.
i liked unpimp your ride much much better.

het droevige ding is dat zij de advertentie door ICBC kopiëerden.

i really liked them; made you feel like you do when you get in a wreck -
these are powerful and effective commercials.

I hated unpimp your ride.
These are much better. Even when I'm watching other car commercials now, there's a bit of a knot in my stomach.

Those spots scared the utter crap out of me, just the way a wreck would.

I like how they take a really simple no-brainer idea and execute it very well
-they got shock value ads
-they got shock value humorous ads
what else do they do?
- garett_west0
those ads are awesome.
stop being such a bunch of p.c. pussies for god's sake. accidents happen and vw is saying it's good to know when they do you'll be safe.
i've been in two accidents that should have killed me btw.

i think they do a good job of balancing the dramatic car crash, with the humorous "Holy Sh..afety Happens" tag.

Yes. They are amazing ads. Stop hating for no reason. If they scared you, they worked.
- peteski0
its fear-mongering thats worse than FoxNews

"if they scare you, they worked"
you sound like the fucking president!
scare tactics, fear is the most powerful weapon to manipulate people.
cheap.

umm, yeah, car accidents are not usually as fun as the VW crash ads.
the only thing it tells me is that people who buy VWs are terrible drivers.

these are amazing. i've been in an accident, and the second commercial on the site made me relive the experience. i watched it about twenty times in a row (tivo) the first time i saw it. aside from the issue of whether or not it is an effective commercial (which i happen to think it is), the cinematography and execution is top-notch. i hope they get a lot of awards out of it.

Makes me want to trade in our 96 jetta for a new one....my fiancée is a horrible driver!!!
P.S. I hates those GTI commercials, they were as cheesy as the the pimped rides they were making fun of. Almost makes me not want one...almost!
