Via Boing Boing: In an attempt to circumvent city signage bylaws Audi defrauded the city of Toronto by applying for fake film permits. Audi wanted to erect six foot signs to advertise their new TT automobiles. They applied to the city of Toronto for permits to shoot a fictional film from the Film and Television Office of Toronto. They then erected 6x15 foot statues in the locations they had shooting permits for but then didn't shoot anything. Apparently they never intended to.
