File this under "great fake ads."

The image, below, jumped to the top of Reddit on Monday. The purported Audi ad goofs on the Olympic rings fail during the opening ceremony in Sochi and Audi's four-ring logo. The result? A bit of real-time marketing that would have been a brilliant move on Audi's part. Instead, it's a clever bit of real-time marketing by a fan on Audi's behalf, which an Audi representative says is the most likely scenario. "This is not an official ad [...] it is most likely from an Audi fan," the rep said.
