I have to agree with the original poster. I too instantly thought of Nazi Germany and the "baby factories" with women having babies for the advancement of the Aryan race. I know, I know, the commercial was meant to be funny and the company is good and all are innocent, BUT it is not a wise move on their part as there's a whole generation of people still alive, watching, who have relatives that have gone through hell and have bad memories of such things. There are probably a number of Germans who don't like the connection either. If you are not personally connected to this part of history or are forunate to be young enough that it doesn't affect you, that's fine but a good segment of the population needs to be considered by the company when advertising in this manner, it's not good for THEM.
