5. He looks like a cross beteen 'the joker' and some villain I cannot name...

6. Just seems like Gene Kelley sold out to VW...

But he couldn't have because he's dead.

It'd be like Elvis doing an NRA ad, or Humphrey Bogart doing an ad for the GOP.

8. VW makes a lot of fuel efficient cars

There are worse things to sell out to. But I see your point.

4. Cororate rip-off.. a disturbing one at that...

7. They had to get someone from Gene Kelly's agent/estate/heirs

to agree to this adaptation and pay for it, too.

Personally, I like it. It's memorable. Better than Fred Astaire dancing with a vacuum cleaner or some other piece of hardware a couple of years ago.

9. Eww. What an insult to Gene Kelly's memory.

10. They threw a little Flock of Seagulls in there

Gene would have loved that
