After a successful Super Bowl debut in 2008 ("Talking Baby Part 1" and "Talking Baby Part 2"), E-Trade's spokesinfant is back. This time he's got a sidekick, a fellow baby who (childishly) changes the subject from the shattered economy -- which E-Trade and WPP's Grey New York make a selling point for the online brokerage instead of a reason to quit messing with stocks -- in order to sing an old Mr. Mister track, "Wings," in adult falsetto.
