Subaru, or Volkswagon?




Actually, Subaru has had a string of really clever, funny ad campaigns for the past couple years. And Volkswagon ads never disappoint. (Does anybody remember the "stinky chair" ad from the 90s? The one with the "da da da" song? Yeah. I still do.)

Dallas teen missing since 2010 was mistakenly deported.

From the article:

There are still many unanswered questions about how an African-American girl who speaks no Spanish is mistaken for a foreign national. Immigration officials are investigating and released a statement late Tuesday.


They shipped her off to Colombia. She was forced to work as a servant in somebody's house and later held in a Colombian detention facility while the US government flailed around uselessly.

Since the publication of the linked article, the girl HAS been re-united with her family, so this story at least has a happy ending.

But Jesus F. Christ, ICE. Makes you wonder how many other times this might have happened before.
