That wasn't banned - VW would never have sanctioned that for proper advertising purposes A lot of stuff like that is done by the manufacturers to send out as viral emails, but that was a step too far for it to be that. But it was well done Preferred the spoof of the dancing Citroen C4 using a 2CV - and when it came back down it fell apart

They were, however, libelling VW as the advert was likely to reduce people's opinion of the brand (in that they'd allow such tasteless advertising). Dear monos, a secret truth.

I guess they flexed some corporate muscle and did......however, it could also be argued that the spoof may have enhanced the brand; after all, wouldn't you want your nearest and dearest inside a Polo during an RTA if it could withstand that blast unscathed?

I think you'll find it's - Defamation Defamation is an injury to the reputation or character of someone resulting from the false statements or actions of another. Defamation is a false attack on your good name. Your good name is regarded as a proprietary interest, not a personal interest. Defamation is an improper and unlawful attack against your proprietary right to your good name, your reputation.

But safely assuming you're not - I'll trot off to the general section. Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing? (John 7:51)

It comes down to the distinction between what is verbal and what isn't. Slander is in fact the spoken word as opposed to verbal, which is why something said verbally on the radio or on television is libel rather than slander. As an aside another distinction is that slander is normally only actionable upon proof of damages, unlike libel where damage is presumed. Hence it might be more sensible to say to someone's face that they are a twit that write it on a forum. For other reasons though it may be more sensible to write it on a forum instead.

Slander is in fact the spoken word as opposed to verbal, which is why something said verbally on the radio or on television is libel rather than slander. Surely there is no distinction between the spoken word and words delivered verbally - my understanding was that libel applied to that which was recorded or broadcast, whereas slander was personal (if you see what I mean).

I would be the first to admit that I am, how do you say... picking of ze nits The point is both libel and slander can be verbal (as opposed to written) but slander has to be the spoken word. As I say it is tiny distinction between understanding "verbal" as being contrary to non-verbal, ie. written and "spoken" as being contrary to unspoken, whether verbal or written. But on such distinctions some saddoes make their careers Similarly there is a difference between the terms "verbal" and "words delivered verbally" (the latter, I agree, being more clearly synonymous with the spoken word - but the former less so). Now if you had said words delivered verbally and personally rather than "verbal" I'd have kept my trap shut. And wouldn't the world have been a happier place for that On a random tangent what do you reckon an offensive hand gesture or signing abuse to a deaf person would qualify as? Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing? (John 7:51)
