Don't laugh too hard- there is a lesson here, don't try to pull your car out by the little tie-down hooks!
It'll mess up a subie pretty bad too (maybe not that bad, but I stupidly did a similar thing to my Forester on the Alcan in 2000).
live and learn

I think the lesson to be learned from that video is like, tow the car out of the snow bank, not into it.
As for the tow hooks on the WRX:
I used my rear passenger one to pull a Chevy Tahoe back on the road after he lost in the rain in the right lane and came across my path and went over the curb 180'd took out a sign and put his rear wheel over the edge of a drop off only to discover he was now stuck in the mud.
I figured it was better to tie his truck up instead of risking it falling on the road below. Then we decided just a little forward force and the thing could get back on the road. He was amazed at the AWD power of the Subaru.
Oh and thankful.
