Checkered Flag

You've got to hand it to the folks over at Volkswagen.  They have found advertising magic with a line of Star Wars-themed ads.  Stemming from last year's huge Super Bowl commercial hit (featuring a boy dressed as Darth Vader using the Force to start his parents VW Passat), this year, VW returns with a teaser ad featuring an array of dogs barking the famous galactic theme song.  Just try and get through the video below without smiling!

In addition to this instant classic called "the Bark Side" -which, by the way, doesn't even show a single VW vehicle- das automaker is also running an awesome web application with which you can invite all of your friends and family to your Super Bowl party with a customized Star Wars title crawl.  Link:  VW Star Wars Super Bowl Invite

If this is what VW has going on before the big game, I cannot wait to see what they're going to pull out on Super Sunday!
