I think we accidentally kissed Snickers

On February 4, 2007, during Super Bowl XLI, Snickers commercials aired which resulted in complaints by gay and lesbian groups against the maker of the candy bar, Masterfoods USA of Hackettstown, New Jersey, a division of Mars, Incorporated.

Unpimp Your Auto

Adolf Hitler had a keen interest in cars even though he did not drive. In 1933, shortly after taking over as leader of Germany, he asked Ferdinand Porsche to make changes to his original 1931 design to make it more suited for the working man. Hans Ledwinka discussed his ideas with Ferdinand Porsche, who used many Tatra design features in the 1938 “KdF-Wagen”, later known as the VW Käfer – or Volkswagen Beetle.

The initial American ad campaign for the GTI featured the “fast”, which Volkswagen says is the feeling and force inside you that likes driving and encourages your driving passion, with the tagline “Make friends with your fast”. However, recently those ads were replaced with a series of ads starring Peter Stormare as a “German engineer” hired to “un-pimp ze auto” by taking tuner cars and smashing them, giving their owners a GTI instead.

Peter Stormare (born August 27, 1953) is a Swedish-American film, stage, voice and television actor as well as a theatrical director and playwright.

The term rice burner, along with the prefix rice, has taken on an alternate pejorative meaning for an automobile that has been modified to give impression of high performance, but does not necessarily have any high-performance capabilities. This practice is in direct contrast to the “stealth” or “sleeper” style of automotive modification, where a vehicle may have major performance modifications, but the appearance remains similar to that of a stock model. In this manner, the appellation can apply to any vehicle regardless of country of origin. The most commonly modified cars are sport compacts, but the term can apply to any class of vehicle, including trucks.
