Apparently, advertising experts think it has something to do with
selling spaghetti sauce.

The same thing that dressing up as Darth Vader has to do with cars:
they're cute.

Hmm, a kid walking in on his parents doing something in the bedroom is
cute?

I suppose the intended message is that Ragu is fucking good!!

No, the kid is cute, the situation is supposed to be funny.

The intended message of the commercial is that the kid was traumatized
by what he saw, and eating pasta with Ragu sauce will make him feel
better.
