I was reminded today of the "Green Police" ad that Audi has been running. (Saw it last week, as well as during the Super Bowl.) Anyone besides me have a hard time understanding how the decision-makers at Audi could actually think this commercial is a good idea? Does it make you want to run right out and buy their clean-burning diesel vehicle, or does it make you want to start a tire fire and roast non-organic baby seals over the open flame? I'm not saying composting, energy conservation and using less chemicals aren't good things--I think they are--but making a "light-hearted" commercial where a homeowner gets hauled off in handcuffs for using incandescent light bulbs doesn't make me want to jump on the green bandwagon. It makes me want to take a big old carbon-belching chainsaw to it.
