VW suicide-bomber viral spot a hoax

So here's the disturbing viral VW ad that's been circulating on MediaPost and advertising blogs. It's a short video of a suicide bomber driving up to a cafe in a VW Polo and trying to blow up the spot. Instead, he only manages to blow up himself while the VW Polo stays intact. The video ends with the tagline, "VW Polo, small but tough". VW and DDB have denied any involvement with this video.
