THE SPOT
In the :30 "Jason," a young boy knocks on the door of a Land Rover Discovery II parked in a driveway. The window rolls down and the boy asks the woman in the driver’s seat if Jason can come out and play. She says she’ll check and rolls up the window. The boy outside the Land Rover paces back and forth as he waits for the woman to get back to him. Finally she opens the window again to tell the youngster that she’s still looking for Jason.
