But the car, a VW Polo, is too sturdy--it contains the blast, killing the terrorist but saving the caf�. Shot on a shoestring budget, the clip is shocking, tasteless, stunningly effective--and totally unauthorized. When it leaked onto the Net (it had been hidden on Ford and Brooks' website), they were pretty stunned too. "We went to sleep, and then America got it," says Ford, 33.
