Many who saw Audi's "Green Police" ad that ran during the Super Bowl last night were left wondering if it was enviro-satire or simply a creepy commercial by a corporation whose management has sucked down way too much green Kool-Aid.

For those who missed it, here it is:

So, what do you think?

My take is the latter.

Michelle Malkin is also in the "creeped out" camp, and has the context you need to judge which side Audi is on.

Ed Morrissey has a somewhat technical explanation for Audi doing the ad but still finds the ad to work for him far better as a warning of an overreaching government dictating choices -- like incandescent lightbulbs, paper vs plastic in the grocery store, and choice of cars.

Which leaves us with the ad being "a warning of an overreaching government dictating choices -- like incandescent lightbulbs, paper vs plastic in the grocery store, and choice of cars," by a "a corporation whose management has sucked down way too much green Kool-Aid."

So, would I ever by an Audi?

My answer is not just a no, but a raving "hell no"!
