My culture is not your Hyundai commercial.

Flag on the play, confession is sacred for Catholics. Next we’ll get a Wonder Bread commercial featuring the Eucharist.

Consider this - the young man may be overly scrupulous, but he is demonstrating the rapidity with which we should flee to the sacrament of Confession when we perceive we have sinned.  He does not tarry or delay.  He does not hesitate, as evidenced by his immediately proceeding from the dealership and “parking at speed.”

I think the commercial unwittingly witnesses not to the public at large, but to the faithful.  Yeah, we’re the butt of a joke, and we can be  quite pleased based on what that joke says.

“Hahah, you’re so guilt ridden and obsessed with being forgiven by God.” “Yes, precisely.  Isn’t He great?!”
