How close to reality is this?

[LeoinSA]

If'n y'all watched the Super Bowl you might have seen this commercial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6J_3Ev-kdY&feature=channel .

Gotta say that Audi sure diluted their message about a fuel efficient diesel with the 'Big Brother' crap.

What's scary to me is this scenario is not too far fetched in a near-time future where a 'we're gonna save you in spite of yourself' attitude is not only prevalent but the law of the land.

Too close to reality for me, and I am working to be more green all the time.

I think it was a terrible commercial on many levels.

   Wait till this becomes reality . . . 

   Seems to me the driver of the audi was really putting his foot into it.  Probably not fuel efficient . . .

   Arrested for incandescent lightbulbs?  Those %!@^ flickering florescents are to white and give me headaches.

This is one of my all-time favorite Super Bowl commercials, for this is the first time in a long time that a company had the audacity to poke fun at the global warming, carbon trading, twisty lightbulb folks.

global warming, carbon trading, twisty lightbulb folks. 

"Twisty lightbulb folks" Love it. Gonna steal it, too! 

Here's an opinion piece by Mark Steyn in regard to the message of the Audi Superbowl commercial, and some other stuff:

"So the message from Audi isn't "You are a free man. Don't bend to the statist bullies," but "Resistance is futile. You might as well get with the program."
