They are comparing aerodinamics, resistance and elegance (VW wins). Then they compare published books, and I win. I had a lot of fun while doing it, and the money they paid went in its integrality to Instituto Paulo Coelho.
Curiosity: we recorded 10 hrs for less than 15 seconds in the final cut.

I am glad you chose VW… I have always had only Audi and VW cars, and I think they are really good!! I have never had a single problem with them.
I am glad you are sponsoring something worthy and “real”.
Love,
Rossana Curri
Genial!!! me encanta!! un beso Paulo y Dios te bendiga siempre
I thought you were never running! (just walking)
or was it only this occassion for the camera? ;-)
Fun add! :-)
FANTASTICO!!!!!!!!!
In resistance you win by far – lets look at the VW in sixty years. Maybe you are not as aerodynamic, but your little hairy spoiler on the back of your head is cute and gives your a distinctive profile. Elegance…well, it’s not your fortitude, but instead your are a really unique model, a fancy special design so to speak.
One question remains: Are you nonpolluting? I fear you are not. – You smoke to much!
Result: Forget the VW!
Monika, tis too funny what you wrote :D Great analogy!
Voyage – a link into the soul of a Pilgrim
or
Voyage….a link into the magical soul of a Pilgrim.
M-C, you must be craving for a ‘Voyage’ Voyage et amour est tre’ bien! :)
…no, dear Paul von Austria and Carolena still a few days left here.
Nom de plume
Love Xx
- Voyage- A link to the soul of a Pilgrim.
brilliance!
A ….”Voyage” makes the journey of a Pilgrim more magical.
A “Voyage” is the link inside the soul of a Pilgrim”
Inside the Alma of a Pilgrim is a Voyage.
“Voyager”… with the Pilgrim”
“Bon Voyage with the Pilgrim”
My grand dad would be proud of you. He, a farmer and teacher, owned several VW’s (a beige and a light blue one) that had a little room behind the back seats, where we children loved to sit and waive to cars following on the road. To save gas, my grand dad would turn off the motor going down hills. And he always told everybody he met, how much he saved this way. Ecologist ahead of his time. (His name was Adolf! of course baptized long before a certain German ruined this pretty name).
I like very much Paulo and is a good idea because the money go to the Paulo Coelho´s Institute for the childrens.
Kises for you
Nicely Done ! And now i realized what VW is :)
Mes Felicitations !
Dasha
VW is the best, I recall my Dad’s Beetle, that 1973 old styled 1973 sweety car :).
Nice Ad, Paulo. I wonder are you going on BMV in the future ;)
Funny VW commercial. Maybe you can triple their sales by writing their car manual.:)
That’s a good one! Jojo

hey Mestre,
Depois de alguns dias estava procurando esta pub, quando vc anunciou a twitter, e não achei na internet…
Amei esta propaganda!! Parabéns!! O melhor de tudo é saber que o ponto maior não vai nem pro Paulo nem pro Voyage, mas pro Solar Meninos De Luz…
Eu sei que não é nenhuma novidade, mas eu não canso de dizer: Minha admiração por você cresce a cada dia…
Meu amor, meu respeito e minha gratidão.

I like the “link” of the car that permits me to attain a destination, to make a journey, to explore and you, the writer, who gives me the means of transportation to do the same …
It is a powerful message. Engine roaring, firing on all cylinders.Very dynamic …aero. and the children benefit as well.
the sound is better than the WSA 1 and 2. The music Sounded a bit like “Spook”. MI5 Hari.:)
Paulo,
What a great advert! I love it! You are a man of many talents!
Alex
C’est la Toto indeed.!
Paulo, you’re a pretty good actor, maybe we should star in a film together ;)
love.
we are already all in the same film: life (to each his own role) ;-D
I liked the … magical gesture and the …. books appeared on the table!! They were … materialized!! ; The Magus, the Alchemist, who transforms our lives through his books and .. love.
LOVE,
Thelma.
Paulo, this is Great! Congrats!!
Dear Carolina,
Oh I am blushing…I am scarlet red.
I have so far eliminated a few of the contenders.
Pope Benedict – deinitively out
elton, georges, Edgar, Albert Einstein, Oppeinheimer, Arthur, Leonardo, Brad , the Wizard of Oz, D.Allen does anyone know Did he ever go to Rio?,Dr Phil,
The list, as you can imagine is as long as an arm.
There is and I might need a bit of help from you here.
Robyn WIlliams – he is got a Plan I am not too sure about the statistics though
John Cleese, Kevin I must admit he does a good job when he sings “La Mer” , I have to re-visited 10 Downing Street, Gordon is in a crisis. Does he speak French?
Anyway, I am open to suggestions.
What is the weather like in your part of the world? Here the wind is slowly disappearing.
Much love, and don’t forget to :)
Marie-Christine
