ASA, a British watchdog group, has spoken out against a VW Golf VI commercial that features Volkswagen's head designer in an epic "Matrix"-style fight scene with evil clones of himself.
Although the choreographed hand-to-hand combat scenes don't actually result in blood, bruises or any other physical signs of injury, the VW Golf VI commercial can only be aired after 9 PM.
