Default Volkswagen Beetle Stars In New Britney Spears Video

Volkswagen has said that it wants the new Beetle to appeal to a more masculine demographic. So what do they do to achieve that? Show it off in a Britney Spears video.

The latest video, "I Wanna Go," shows a bright red Volkswagen Beetle being assaulted by Spears' bodacious hipsin some elaborate, Terminator-inspired setpiece with a Karmann Ghia that gets sprayed with milk. Apparently.

If Volkswagen wants to balance out the Beetle's manliness, then, they could build a monster truck out of it, or place it in a Ted Nugent video. Click the jump to see the video in its entirety.

I'm not a Britney Spears fan in any way, shape, or form, but if this helps sell the latest Beetle, then I say go for it. Still, I'd rather see it with a reunited Led Zeppelin or old footage of Jimi Hendrix for the middle-aged crowd.

...or give it away to a bunch of Oprah fans...I never knew how that was supposed to appeal to men...I couldn't even watch that episode with the audio on.

If buying one guarantees I meet women that look like Britney, I'm so in.

I'm with you Pushing Fifty! Even Aerosmith!

I think the 2012 NB is gorgeous but to me it's just not the same, it's changed to much. I think they should have given it a new model name. I went and checked out while having my oil changed at dealer. Impressive.

Another idea for whom should push the Beetle:

OZ-ZY! OZ-ZY! OZ-ZY! OZ-ZY! OZ-ZY! OZ-ZY!

(repeat as needed)

Doing Britney Spears just reeks of the same type of marketing that Fiat is doing with their J-LO (BLAH!!!) commercials for their 500
