Well here’s what we had to say about that. After viewing Volkswagen’s new Red Urban-created Passat commercial over at AdFreak and the complaints it’s generated, we simply could not hold our tongue and left this comment in answer to David Gianatasio’s question, “Sexist or just sily?”

“Definitely just silly. Good God, people need to lighten up! Hysteria over such innocuous issue as a silly car commercial who’s primary fault (if it even has one) is highlighting the sometimes distractive qualities of a new car is just stupid. There are far more important things to focus on in this world than stupid car ads.”

OK? Can we all move on to more important issues now? There’s more small towns to Occupy, right? Oh wait…

Describing a life as busy and in demand isn’t only a complaint — consumer researchers studying status signaling found that busyness can function as a badge, because people often read a packed schedule as evidence that someone is competent, scarce, and wanted by others.
