PLO threatens to sue Volkswagen over old, fake commercial

About nine years ago some enterprising video producers created this brilliant fake Volkswagen commercial:



Today, the the PA's Foreign Minister Dr. Riyad al-Malki is threatening to sue VW  - for a commercial it never made.

Al-Malki, who is currently in Tehran (which is interesting in itself), stated, "We are going to ask our embassy in Germany to discuss the issue with the company, in addition to that we will called the German ambassador to PLO."

He added, "We will demand the company to withdraw its commercial and apologize to the Arab public on this abuse."

"I have not seen the commercial yet, but if it contains inflammatory material, we will take all legal action against the company."

Yes, PLO ministers make public statements and denunciations based on nothing more than rumor.

Snopes has the story behind this video, including that VW intended to pursue legal action against the producers.
