Volkswagen said last night it was outraged by the spoof advert, which became the fifth most talked about item on internet weblogs.

Ok who on earth actually reads all the weblogs and then rates the items talked about?
Gotta love the internet - always someone who is more geeky than you.

Yep, you can clearly see Harbour Centre (Vancouver) in the background.

^nope. TO. they did a spot on the company that did it on biz TV that's how i found out about it. the CN tower is in the background when the car first morphs and the first few dance scenes.

Sorry -- it's Vancouver, specifically the roof of the Canada Post Building at 349 W Georgia [img]smile.gif[/img]

Click here for the segment from Discovery Channel's Daily Planet about how the commercial was made:
