VW Viral Video: The Jedi Strike Back

Posted by jamess — 15 July 2011 at 3:28pm - Comments

A little over two weeks ago, we launched our VW campaign with our spoof video of the company’s Darth Vader advert.

It instantly went viral, becoming the most shared ‘ad’ worldwide (see pic on the right).

VIDEO: A VW stormtrooper sees the lights

Following last week's dramatic shutting down of our rebel communications channel (YouTube to you, humans), the Rebellion has bounced back. Our videos are now everywhere - thanks to you brave Jedi - and our ranks are swelling faster than we ever thought possible.

The Rebel Alliance needs you!

The Force may be all around us, but when the robes are in the wash and the lightsaber’s in for repairs, how do you show that you’re on the side of the Rebel Alliance? Easy. A sticker for your car so that you can proclaim to the galaxy and beyond, “I’m part of the rebellion”! It doesn’t matter what kind of car you own, or whether you’re outrunning Imperial Starships or doing the school run.

Our communication channel has been hit. But the Rebellion goes on.

Last night – at approximately 1830 – our communications equipment took a direct hit. After providing nearly 2 million transmissions of our latest Rebellion underground message “VW: The Dark Side”, our YouTube films and channel were taken down. And now moments ago, Vimeo took them down.

Our rebel engineers are working shifts round the clock in the coldest depths of cyberspace to try and locate the source of the attack.

Wow. Just over 48 hours in and we've passed the 100,000 mark for the rebellion. With well over a million views to our VW films (in all languages) this is getting bigger by the minute.

There's only one problem: what does 100,000 Jedis look like?
