Subject: RE: BS: Favorite or Most Hated Commercials?
I actually watch very little tele (yes honestly!) but I saw the most fabulous advertisement that I actually tried to watch more to see it!

No idea what it was about:

Fashion show/models/cat walk/one model dressed in the most compelling bird of paradise skimpy outfit and animal marking face paint - cut to cheetahs in African savannah - cut back to model at end of catwalk - cut to cheetah starting to run in slow motion - cut to model starting to sprint down this catwalk - then you realise SHE HAS NO LEGS!! Instead she is using state-of-the-art running prostetics - just curved bits of metal - and as she's running (on these incredibly fragile bits of metal, up the catwalk echoed by the running cheetah, the entire audience is erupting into a applause and giving her a standing ovation!

Don't what it was about - don't know if anyone was trying to sell anything, but it was one of the most compelling and moving things I ever saw. And I only saw it once - and nobody else saw it!

Tell me if you know anything about this!

Cheers, Hille
