Researchers at MIT determined Ted Kennedy to be traveling 78mph at the time of impact, to have MaryJo's panties to end up in the glove-box.

Oh, sorry - I get so used to talking with my kids in internet-speak.

ONTD = "Oh No They Didn't" (meaning, I can't BELIEVE they did that.)

Rest easy, Volkswagen lovers. It's not a real ad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TeddyVWad.jpg).

Thank God. I usually snort and roll my eyes at people who bring lawsuits but if that were real and I were a parent of the girl who drowned I would have been on the phone to the most vicious lawyer I could find SO FAST.

Lawyers did get into some scrappin' between Volkswagen and National Lampoon.

Though it's famous, I can understand some eyes have never encountered it, but, please, tell me nooooooobody could ever think it was real.

Can't vouch for the part of the story that says, afterward, responding to heavy corporate/legal pressure for apology/retraction, Lampoon published this:

"Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen he wouldn't be president today."

Oh ouch

Though the floating thing is mostly true. I floated a couple on flooded streets where the water was hip-high. Freaked out my passenger and everybody watching.
