Crispin Porter + Bogusky's VW Falls Flat

Let me be perfectly clear on two things: one, I like Crispin Porter + Bogusky (I've got an application in for a summer internship... fingers crossed). Two, I don't like their new VW spots. You know, the ones with the 1964 beetle that has it's own talk show. Or the print ones in the Wall Street Journal where the car says "The people want an economic stimulus." Oh yeah, how clever, now I want to buy a car. C'mon guys, the people that brought us the king can do better. Everything else I wanted to say has already been said by Adweek.
