Singin' and Break-Dancin' in the Rain

So, this new commercial is the latest thing computers have done to terrify me.

If using digital technology to talk about someone's personal life is invasive, then what is digital technology to alter their timeless art for the purpose of selling stuff?

The Cinemaphile in me is shocked and appalled. The special-effects nerd in me is dazzled and amazed. The corporation-fearing-inner-hippie in me is terrified at the awesome power of Volkswagen. My Uber-hip Eurotrash alter-ego wants a Golf GTI really, really badly.
