Audi resurrects Iggy pop and The Stooges' "Search and Destroy," in this hot mess of a spot that shows me everything from geeks to athletes and I have no idea what's going on. Mostly it's the song because all it does is remind me of perhaps on of Nike's best spots in its 90's heyday, because the commercial for that aired during the olympics featured the same song. I guess everyone who hears "Look out honey, cause I'm using technology," uses the lyrics as a justification. Hey, at least Iggy's getting paid, I guess..
