This circulated a while ago. VW didnšt take kindly to this one. VW tracked down the individuals that created it and filed suit in British court. The creators worked for an advertising company and were terminated by their company. It was another of the spoofs on the "polo built tough" slogan. About a dozen in circulation. From what VW said it didnšt take them long to track it down. Evidently anyone familiar with the London area could take a fair guess as to the location. From there, there were other clues in the work that gave it away but they didnšt say what they were.
