The Maroon 5 ad is ruining the World Cup, please make it stop

                                                                                 

IF YOU HAVE even so much as been in the same room while a World Cup tie was broadcast, then you are familiar with The Ad™.

The Ad™ begins benignly enough. A car drives through a sports stadium car park. Two children, a boy and a girl, are messing around in the backseat. Their mother looks around from the front seat and beams at her two wholesome angels.

The car stops and the little girls rips off her seatbelt. She attempts to open the passenger door when, out of nowhere, a giant shuttle bus comes racing through the car park. What exactly is a bus doing driving at what appears to be a relatively high speed through a car park? Who knows! It’s not important.

What is important is whether or not the little girl will be killed for lacking the foresight to check for any oncoming shuttle buses. Time slows to a crawl as exactly one passerby notices the bus speeding hurtling its way through the car park. Right before we find out whether or not the girl will open the door and be met with certain death, we see a pair of drumsticks.

One, two.

And then it starts.

Don’t worry about a thing.
