At the risk of boring the crap out of everyone with yet another take on the suicide bomber viral ad scandal [1], turns out this isn't the first time Volkswagen has loosed its legal jackals on guys like Lee and Dan [2].

In 1973, it was National Lampoon that VW had in its sights. All because of this spoof ad the magazine ran. The headline: If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be President today.

Is there a difference between then and now? Believe it [3].
