<p class="MsoNormal">Don’t you think <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/10/creepy-ad-watch.html">your Creepy Ad Watch</a> from today ought to acknowledge (1) that <a href="http://sullivanarchives.theatlantic.com/index.php.dish_inc-archives.2005_01_01_dish_archive.html#110628851112879892">you linked</a> this very same VW advert in January 2005, and (2) that you <a href="http://sullivanarchives.theatlantic.com/index.php.dish_inc-archives.2005_01_01_dish_archive.html#110634282066562355">also discovered</a> in January 2005 that <a href="http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/2005/01/vw_suicidebombe.html">it is a fake</a>. It still amuses me, in its dark way, so I’m pleased if a new generation sees it because of your re-post today.&#0160; </p>
