Another viral video from Volkswagen. Another example of something that can change people's behaviour for the better by making something mundane fun to do.

I SEE HOW THIS SHOWS THAT VW CARS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, FUCK OFF VW MARKETING BULLSHIT.

Moving this video to Hybrid's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

*eco *commercial here - in this case westy, I would argue that it does make sense - they doubly win by showing that their engineers know how to make random things fun (which indirectly applies to their cars), and shows that by putting the 'fun' into the 'right thing' means there are more creative ways of being eco-friendly without nagging people to death. That translates into eco-features that encourage drivers to be more fuel efficient.

Tales of Prius drivers who want to maximize their fuel efficiency scores supports this theory.

Is anyone else wondering if the energy saved by recycling is overwhelmed by the energy used powering the "game"?

It's just a commercial. Why overanalyze the marketing of some car company? I gotta say I was upset when I saw the VW logo in the end of the video, but nothing I saw made me think about getting a VW. It actually made me want to start recycling. Does that mean that VW should fund drugs so people will stop doing them?

Yeah, if the video game is overwhelming the energy saved from recycling, then the whole video was redundant.
