Volkswagen Turns To Disgruntled YouTubers For 2013 Super Bowl Spot

With the Super Bowl just around the corner, game day commercial previews are starting to pop up on the web and, thanks to two wildly successful Super Bowl seasons, viewers everywhere have been looking forward to seeing what Volkswagen has in store this year. In 2011, VW topped the charts with their mini-Darth Vader spot, The Force, and last year they delighted fans with Star Wars singing dogs. This year the company is doing things a bit differently, turning to disgruntled YouTubers to strike happiness into the hearts of men.
