* A new Volkswagen commercial has someone debating about buying a car, only to have his future self (wearing nifty [[We Will Not Have Pockets in the Future|"futuristic clothes"]]) from "13 days in the future" pop into the showroom and tell him to buy the car.
* [[Play StationPlayStation 3|Kevin Butler of Sony]] greets the people of March 2010 from the "crazy" future of November 2010.
