National Lampoon, a famous humor magazine ran this mock ad satirizing this particular incident. This resulted in a legal action from Volkswagen claiming unauthorized use of its trademark. What is the incident being satirized?Answer: The chappaquiddick incident involving Sen. Ted Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne when Ted Kennedy drove his car off a bridge and then left the scene of the accident. Mary Jo died in the accident and the fallout of the incident was a huge factor in Ted Kennedy not running for president in 1972. Even as late as 1980 when he finally did run, he wasn't quite able to live this one down. Jaggi, v. chandrashekar, Srivats, Raghu, Schmetterling, Rajesh K, Corina, mekie, Arvind, Manix, Mrinalini, Krithi, Debasish, guessthelogo, Arvind, P and Ramji got it. Well done.

When Mary Jo Kopechne,girl friend of Ted Kennedy died of drowning this cartoon appeared because it was believed Volkswagen car floats. If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd have been President.
