Has anyone else seen this Nissan ad? It ran on ESPN this afternoon:
The setup is a hospital childbirth in which a father is ignored while he attempts to take part in the birth of his child. The ad concludes with the father strapping the newborn child into a car seat, mom looking on knowingly, while the narrator speaks a line about "dad's first test" (operating the car seat).
The father is acted as a dumb, hapless type, and he does make attempts to participate (for example, hold the child) but is denied and ignored throughout the process.
I can't find the ad posted anywhere, and I don't have cable at home to make a recording, but I want others to see it and make a judgment. Please help.
Me, not buying that GT-R next year.

Interesting, I saw this at the gym with closed captioning. Subtract the happy music, and the message is much different.
