Ha ha...the use of classical music in movie scores is exactly the reason I had for voting that classical music is still relevant today in society at large.

Also, my guess is that when people get older, they may appreciate classical music more. I used to find most of it so boring when I was a child. (Exception: Peter and the Wolf, but my record came with entertaining pictures.)

Now that my brain cells have reduced in number, I can enjoy a lot of classical music and find the details of its composition to be engrossing. I also feel it is some of the most emotionally moving music ever created.

I kinda think it is fun to see how classical music gets used in surprising ways in commercials for trivial things.
