Where Greenpeace is disturbing due to fanaticism... Lucusfilm is hateful due to coolness.

 

Then again, there are many people who object to the fact that Volkswagen even exists, given its origins in the Nazi era (including that 80% of its workforce in the early '40s were slave labor).

Do those same people object to Porsche?

Probably' date=' but the Porsche brand doesn't have the penetration into American markets that VW does. Very few people can buy a Posche, but anyone with halfway decent credit can buy a Volkswagen.[/quote']

 

Out here, you'd be surprised. I see Porsches all over. And by that same logic, these people you mention should be against Mitsubishi as well.... and probably a dozen other Japanese and German brands... like BMW.

 

Of course, I once wanted to get a VW Thing and paint it gray....

I happen to like the look of Porsche. Beside hating a company because of its root is like saying I hate somebody because his Great Grandfather was in the SS. He is not his grandfather and VW/Porsche is not the same company from the 1940's.

They would also have to be against Chevy and Ford as their German plants made German war material during WWII.

And Chrysler was recently under the ownership of Daimler-Benz. So, no American, German, or Japanese cars. Or Italian. Or Yugoslavian.

 

But we digress. :D
