PROFESSIONAL DRIVER, CLOSED COURSE

I'm watching The Ashes on an Indian feed of the Australian Broadcasting Company, and there is a Mentos ad where a monkey and a donkey are walking along and come upon some Mentos.  The monkey takes a Mentos, and offers one to the donkey, who refuses.  The monkey then quickly evolves from a monkey to a proto-human, to a caveman, who then invents fire and the wheel, and puts the donkey in a chariot and makes him carry him.

At the bottom of the screen reads a disclaimer:  "Donkeys are not meant to be work animals."  Wait, Indians have to be warned about using donkeys as work animals, and you are selling them Mentos?
