I think the show was called "die 2 - nieuwe koeien" or something (means "those 2 - new cows")
(old news is sometimes referred to as old cows in Dutch).

The show was about soccer and they had an item where they made soccer players recite sensitive poetry (about soccer) with shine on you crazy diamond playing in the bacground.

Now that's messed up!

Yep, it was for the new Forza racing game.....I couldn't believe it when I saw the commercial - I actually did a 'rewind' on the DVR and watched the commercial a second time to be sure I wasn't having auditory hallucinations.

If classic Yes has been used for Chase Bank, I'd say that the Rubicon has been crossed!  

What's next, "Apocalypse in 9/8" for MacDonalds??   Is nothing sacred??

Yes it was. I believe it was for Hundai a couple of years ago.

Wow, never heard that before...
 
While it may not be prog per se, Cadillac commercials from a few years back have forever associated Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" with their product for me. Which is a crying shame.....

I hate it when songs I like are whored out for commercials, and that one surprised me, I thought Yes would be immune to this. Cry
 
I also remember a McDonalds commercial that used Hocus Pocus. And the intro to Shine on You Crazy Diamond is sometimes used on the weather channel when they're showing the local radar.

I never think The Who sold out.

*sigh* It was a joke!!  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_Sell_Out

However, I have seen music by The Who used for various adverts for SUVs etc. (Won't Get Fooled Again, I think).

I'm not as interested in proto-prog (Beatles) as much as the real-deal, just curious what others have heard.  

This was the first time I can remember a Yes song used in this fashion!!
