I Maybe Watch One in Fifty Online ads

I usually hate online commercials and pay no attention but this Red Bull one is interesting and kind of funny. I think the hook for me was, 1. I do like the stuff, and knew it was a Red Bull ad, 2. and then in the first few seconds you see the kid go to confess his sins which seems so problematic and probably offensive for a energy drink commercial and probably very inappropriate. Even as you watch it it seems like what the heck, how could they make an ad like this. I was not watching I was listening waiting for my video but it took 4 seconds or so for me to start watching, wondering, what in the world. I am sure the ad is offensive to some religious people but it is cute.
