I have no idea what to make of the new Volkswagen Routan commercials starring Brooke Shields.  The commercials been called “hilarious“, but I find them somehow really unsettling.  It’s like I understand why it should be funny, but I can’t get why it actually isn’t funny in execution.  Oh well.

Apparently, VW is also planning an interactive web tool to go along with this bizarre ad campaign.  Couples will be able to upload their photos and generate a composite of their future Routan Baby.  That should help motivate wanna-be parents to get procreating!  The good news is that the Routan has a lot more child car seat anchors than other minivans, so all those Routan Babies will have a place to sit.  Joy!
