Conservatives seem to be split between whether they liked Audi’s “green” ad during the superbowl, or thought it was creepy or offensive.
Frankly, I liked it, and here’s why: It made fun of the Liberal Fascist mindset many in the environmental community seem to have (i.e. the attitude that causes them to claim you need to live your lifestyle according to their beliefs), and secondly, clean diesel is cool technology that doesn’t require government subsidization. If Audi can get environmentalists to buy their cars, more power to them – unlike most hybrids, clean diesel doesn’t need my money subsidizing it in order to succeed. And as long as my taxes aren’t paying for it, people can buy whatever they want.
And heck, I might go for a clean diesel myself one of these days – but more because I like the technology than because of environmental concerns.
