Title: VolksWagon commercials
Post by: Big O on February 27, 2006, 05:39:38 am
Ever seen the VW commercials airing with the catchphrase : "Get to know your fast." ?
Watch them more closely next time! The "Fast" bears striking resemblance to the look and mental compulsion powers of a Dnyarri, a Talking Pet!
Is there a connection...?

The one with the cop saying "Keep that fast under control..." suggests it isn't quite so powerful.

And they lack any serious physical resemblance. Little mini-hands notwithstanding, exposed brains != black shine

Mind control powers isn't exactly unique to SC2.

Personally, it reminded me of the helmet that was part of a toy... well, I hesitate to call it a car, but it had four wheels... I had as a little kid (and, I suppose, still have).

Death 999, that wouldn't be a Wheeled Warrior (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeled_Warriors) toy would it?
