I've got no idea what "ambiguous" even means in this context or why that matters. But then again, I'm not French. It wouldn't be shown here (and in Italy as well) for the simple reason that advertisements max out at one minute length.

The French national railways are clearly a social wonderland.

This commercial is heartbreaking but completely realistic. The TV version is shorter, but it still tells the same story: Dad picks up his son from school and says that dinner will be great. But Mom is gone. Dad says that he's going to make his son's favourite dish, but it's not the same dish anymore. Okay, no problem, except that the kid says it's the wrong pasta and needs the other one. A quick trip to the store fixes this, but Dad screws up dinner anyway. The kid says "Mom's not coming back, is she?" Since dinner is ruined, the kids makes sandwiches for both of them. "Don't worry. You'll do better tomorrow."

The latest road security ad in France contains nothing about car accidents. It is about the joy of being a father with a newborn son. "Be whoever you want to be but be alive." It is only at the end that there is a message on the screen saying that 8 out of 10 fatal road accidents in involve men.

I really like the new government ad promoting fruits and vegetables.
Never too fleshy, never too old, never too natural, never too tender, never too powerful, never too hairy, etc...

Transport for London has always had advertising campaigns to remind people of various safety messages: But during Covid, as regular advertisers dried up during the lockdowns, they introduced a new range of rather wider behavioural reminders: And they've kept them up: click on the photo for a video version!

Or maybe nobody listens to the daughters or else they're glued to TikTok.

I wonder how many motorists became distracted by trying to figure out what the message means.

I wonder how many motorists became distracted by trying to figure out what the message means. Seems self-explanatory to me - especially if you were behind the bus and the kind of driver who revs up to roar around it.

Maybe the message is attuned to the male brain, then, because the "your son does" part throws it out of whack for me.

It’s something I think about when it comes to the driving habits of one of my sons, but I would have written “…..your child does.” Children learn so much from their parents and absorbing their habits.

A lot of the French ads for this concentrate on the childen telling their parents (always the father) what to do on the road.

To be honest women don’t usually drive as recklessly as alpha males.
