Commercials

I thought I was rather dense as I just didn't get the latest HSBC commercial with the lumberjack and the tree-hugger. Turns out I'm not the only one as related here. The ad is everywhere and the theme song has become so annoying to me that I instantly switch channels when the ad comes on which occasionally doesn't help as the ad is on the other channel too :( Also will someone please explain the latest Volksvagen ads featuring Brooke Shields?

The Volkswagen ads are saying that people only feel comfortable buying those van-type things when they have kids, so women are getting pregnant so they can buy cool German engineering.
