After launching a series of ads taking the mickey out of bankers and their hand in the financial meltdown (see previous post), VW are at it again. This ad follows a fellow on a series of misadventures brought on by the recession. Despite all the challenges, he sings through it with his chin up in true Fred Astaire fashion, joined by some sheep on their way to the slaughterhouse.

Spots like these demonstrate their civil side by relating to the anxieties of us all and make an effort to cheer us up. T-Mobile has also been doing its utmost to cheer up Londoners with a series of flash mob like events that get us dancing and singing (see previous post).
