Volkswagen AG has filed criminal charges over a spoof advertisement for its Polo small car that has been circulating on the Internet, Europe's biggest carmaker said on Friday.
The so-called viral ad -- unauthorized by Volkswagen or its advertising agencies -- shows a suicide bomber detonating his explosives in a Polo parked outside a busy cafe, only to have the car absorb the blast.

Britain's Guardian newspaper reported on its Web site this week that the ad was made by a London-based advertising partnership called Lee and Dan, who the publication said had apologized but refused to identify themselves.
In an interview with the newspaper, a man identified as the ad's director said he was horrified by the reaction and had only meant it to be used on a reel for luring new business, not to be seen by the public.
