I found this ad on ettf and thought it was funny enough to share…

At least, until I started wondering why some of the VW’s on the road were left untouched! In any case, I definitely think it’s one funnier (and better done) than our Abbey Road spoof located here. [If you can’t tell, that’s Mark Twain, Bob Dylan, Stephen Hawking, and Einstein pushing.]
Brilliant. The only problem with it is that there is a VW bug/beetle clearly visible in the shot. They should have flipped the VW on its back.

agreed… definitely a clever solution!

I agree, the VWs threw me off. Also, maybe a wee bit out of taste given that two of the Beatles are already gone..

and, of course; a beetle is not a bug. piercing mouth parts and all that.
