Social Experiments From VW

A couple of entertaining commercials from Volkswagen popped up in the world of viral video this month, both of them claiming to be real-life experiments in social engineering. I like the videos a whole bunch as they have a “candid camera” feel and also give you a bit of a warm fuzzy inside. Are we being manipulated by a car company? Does it matter if the result is positive?

Check out the videos and judge for yourself:

    i love the piano stairs. it’s a great idea to get people to use the stairs.
    the trashcan is ok, but most people (in u.s.) do not litter due to all the “litterbug” PSAs in the 70s/80s.
