What's the problem with using cardinal numbers for days? I'm going to do a wild guess here, but all languages except English do it like that.
No they don't. Most languages use ordinal numbers in speech, and in languages with grammatical cases often different case then nominative (basically what corresponds to using “twenty-second of March” in English). They just either don't make the distinction in writing at all or do it in a more subtle way like appending a period (‘22.’).

30 replies and not a single one about the girl's face freaking out with the robot? I'm disjointed TDWTF.
Because that's not really interesting. It's just another silly weird ad.

It's kind of the point of advertising, really, to get people talking about it. So I guess, in a sense, the real winners of this topic were all of us...

Or have I been wrong all these years and the Queen is called Elizabeth Two?
Like the previous Queen Elizabeth, she’s called Elizabeth too.

I think it's because it's such a weird expression, no-one knows what to say about it.

I'm faceblind.

The Romance languages use ordinals as well IIRC e.g. deuxième Mars.
No, at least not in French. It’s « 2 mars » or (rarely) « deux mars ».

Huh… I haven't done any French for about [counts] 14 years, so…

As @VinDuv points out, this is wrong in two different ways. Only the first of the month gets an ordinal in French ("le premier mars", "le 2 mars" (spoken as if it is "le deux mars"), and so on), and, of course, there is no full-time initial capitalisation of the names of the months and the days of the week.EDIT: Arguably three different ways, because in French a date like that will always have "le" as well...

Hmm.. I haven't done any French for about [tries to count, gives up because it is too short a time, oh, putain, I live in France].
