dannyb notes that "disrupted" is a pretty lightweight
term for massive, near complete, failure.

(and, which natch, brings to mind an update

one about JFK's brother... [a], namely:

"How do you reach your telephone technical
repair staff when the phone network is dead?"

the text says this VW advert is from 1964. Damn..
I'd have thought more like 1970. Oh well...
