Audi’s Green Police Clean Diesel Super Bowl ad satirically portrays the Eco Police and subliminally, or not so subliminally communicates to Prius buyers they can buy the Audi Diesel with a clean conscience.
The Green Police seem funny and ridiculous until you realize there actually was talk about making incandescent light bulbs illegal in California.

CHICAGO — The US transportation chief’s public rebukes of Toyota’s handling of a massive safety recall have raised eyebrows, given the US government’s major stake in rivals General Motors and Chrysler.
“The optics are terrible because — and this is what happens when a government owns a company - the two companies that are going to gain the most out of this are General Motors and Chrysler,” said Peter Morici, a professor at the University of Maryland’s business school.

Joke: Long Distance Calls From Hell
George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While
there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.
Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he was finished the
devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a
check.
Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she was
finished the devil informs her that cost is 6 million dollars, so Queen
Elizabeth writes him a check.
Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he was finished the devil informed him that there would be no charge for the call and feel free to call the USA anytime.
When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call
the USA free.
The devil replied, ”Since Obama became president of the USA , the country has gone to hell, so naturally it’s a local call.” -
