Who waters this man?

Am I only the only person who finds these Dow commercials creepy. Regardless of what they are trying to convey, this tree man is a freak, or a geek as circuses called them. It isn't whimsical or a very good allegory for nature, it's weird . Especially so since there are actually people that suffer from a rare disease which causes tree-like growths all over their bodies. I am sure there are those who think these spots are clever and imaginative. Frankly, I find them bizarre and the message not very clear.
