Fan-Made Audi Ad Is Very Clever But Likely Fake

A rather sketchy Audi ad has been found floating around the internet as of late, poking fun at the malfunction  at the Olympic Games opening ceremony in Sochi last Friday. The tagline reads, “When four rings is all you need“, referencing one of the Olympic rings remaining closed on February 7th. An Audi representative spoke to Mashable.com on Monday confirming the ad was, in fact, fake.

“This is not an official ad […] it is most likely from an Audi fan.” – Audi representative

The fifth ring fails to expand at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi on February 7th, 2014

The ad was posted to Reddit.com (www.reddit.com) by user Minusguy on February 10th and was the first known use of the picture.
