Obscure reference alert: Peugeot still makes cars!
No, no, no. Only joking. The obscure reference is to Wacky Races, a Hanna-Barbera cartoon from *my* childhood being used to sell cars in Europe *today.*
Wow.
Don't get wrong; I find this commercial rather fun and charming. It just seems . . . odd.
But no matter. As my friend the Cartoonist (who originally shared this video on Facebook) put it, "At least they're finally marketing to our generation."
True that. Thank goodness.
Nevertheless, the commercial perturbs me because it brings up an age-old conundrum.
And that is this: Do I want to be with Dick Dastardly? Or do I just want to be Penelope Pitstop?
Muttley deserves better, by the way.
