Ric, I believe (but cannot verify) that VW created the ad for a run in various mags of the time (LIFE etc) after Chapaquidick (sp?). The argument being that had Kennedy owned a bug with its excellent floating properties (remember how hard it was to close bug doors because of the great sealing properties?) then he would not been in that mess and so on and so on and would have become president .....Lampoon may have "borrowed" the idea, no?
