I saw a Subaru commerical the other day that caught my interest.  In it, they showed several boys in uniforms competing in what appeared to be a Pinewood Derby.  Since I was a Cub Scout for several years and have fond memories of building Pinewood Derby cars, I wanted to see what their message was.  But I was distracted because at the end they show the boys in their “uniforms,” which are really just vests–not button-up shirts like I’m used to.  Doing some research, I found out that these boys were actually wearing Girl Scout uniforms.  According to a commenter on motherproof.com, the Boy Scouts of America would not allow them to use their trademarks.

Note: I couldn’t find a video of this commercial online.  If anybody could post it in the comments, that would be great!
