Men may be from Mars, and women from Venus, but babies, apparently, are from deep space. So says an eye-popping TV ad by the car company Kia slated to launch onto the small screen on Super Bowl Sunday.
The advertisement begins with a son asking his father where babies come from while driving down the street. As the dad drives, he explains that babies (animal and human alike) are sent to Earth from a special alien planet known as "Babylandia."
After some time on their home planet, the babies make a nine month journey to Earth, shooting through the atmosphere and landing safely with their new families. You can watch the video here.
Kia isn't the only company using space travel as a hook for an advertisement in anticipation of the Super Bowl this Sunday (Feb. 3).
