Yes, I am 12 years old.

Volkswagen's Italian Instagram handle for the account is "@VolkswagenItalia," which makes sense. But when it's all one word, it looks like something else. Volkswagen Genitalia. Oops! Or, excellent pretend-accident marketing.

People are just noticing this, and it's going viral online. Volkswagen hasn't commented - and even if they do, they probably won't change it. This wasn't just an unfortunate, recent oversight, they've had this handle for years.

One poster said, "Volkswagen Italy, please never change your Instagram handle." The rest of the comments are even better, if not nastier.
