Advertising is designed to get our attention by any means necessary. And sometimes those means can rub some people the wrong way…even if they didn’t intend to.
The ad, made up almost entirely of clips offering tribute to cheesy action and horror movies, ruffled feathers because people thought it was too violent, featuring as it did shooting, stabbings, and people getting karate chopped in the neck. These people also lack a sense of humor.
#4) Audi’s Green Police
Unfortunately, we live in a world where people don’t understand satire, and controversy erupted among people who genuinely thought Audi was advocating for people who use incandescent lightbulbs to get beaten and hauled off to jail like common criminals.

When you think of condo insurance, what do you think of? If you think that condo insurance will pay for any loss dues to damages or theft, then you are right. But do you know how much the insurance company is going to pay you? What you need to understand is there are two types of condo insurance in Dallas, one that pays for the current value of things and the other that pays for the actual cost that you paid. Both of these insurance policies are good but they have their pros and cons as well.
The first type of condo insurance is the one where all the items listed on your item list will be paid to you based on current value. What this means is that if you had gold, electronics and clothing in your condo and it was all taken by thieves, then you will be paid the current price of gold, the current retail price for the electronics and whatever the insurance company can come up with for your clothing.

Porsche has announced that they are to design and build a new SUV and it will be called the ‘Macan’. It will basically be a baby version of the Cayenne, a car that already divides opinion. For me, the Cayenne doesn’t really work. Porsche’s are all about being light on their toes and, above all, fast. The Cayenne is more a luxury cruiser, and one that I personally don’t think looks great either. From the rear it is a very good looking 44, however the front end is certainly not to my taste and it spoils the overall appeal of the car.
Interesting Name
However, let’s not right the new Macan off before it’s even on the production line. Porsche have stated that the name comes from the Indonesian word to mean ‘tiger’. Perhaps they are hoping to emulate the ferocious and savage characteristics of a tiger. Something that ca

In December 2010 I purchased RAC cover for my daughter’s Mini – but at no point was I informed there would be automatic renewal. A few weeks into the policy we contacted RAC to cancel it as the insured car had been towed to a garage and was being repaired and then sold, and we therefore no longer needed cover. I was told I could not cancel the policy as I had used the service, which I accepted as fair enough.
A year on and have I have just discovered from my credit card bill that the policy has been automatically renewed, and I have been charged £82 again. It has emerged that a renewal was sent to daughter’s previous address – and did not appear on my credit card statement until the following month. The RAC has refused a refund because we are outside the 14-day cooling-off period. I am adamant I did not agree in writing or verbally to automatic renewal.
