Title: Audi defrauds Toronto with bogus film permits

 The liars at Audi defraud Toronto with bogus film permits

The marketing weasels at Audi apparently thought it could put one over on the residents of Toronto, but they got caught. The automaker from Ingolstadt applied for a permit from the Film and Television Office of Toronto to shoot a commercial that would allow it to place double "T" statues that measure six feet high and fifteen feet long all over the city for a period of three days.

A press release issued by Audi, however, confirms that no commercial would be shot, but rather that the statues are meant to act as billboards advertising the new Audi TT. The placement of the statues as advertisements, though, violates the city's signage laws.
