Too bad the US is so stuffy about what we can't say/show on TV this is an important topic addressed with humor. Any attempt to say the same here would have the P.C. police in full panties in a twist mode. (I'm skirting the topic to not spoil it for those who haven't seen the clip yet.) Always amazes me that the country founded on freedom of expression is so fond of restricting it.....  |  IP: Logged Greg Davis Film Handler Posts: 96 From: Vista, Ca, USA Registered: Sep 2004 posted 09-17-2004 09:21 PM                     StupidVideos.com Has a lot of good commercials on it, mostly American but some Italian ones and what not. There are like 500 clips, so kinda hard to tell which are good, but if you have a few hours to kill its something sweet to do.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 09-18-2004 05:57 PM                     Are you sure this originates from the UK? That wouldn't get shown in the UK I've never seen a commerical with strong language like that. Looking at that clip it seems to have been taped from one of those commercial compilation tv shows. So it's either foreign or banned.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-19-2004 02:37 AM                        Greatest Commercial Ever. Scroll to the bottom to view the commercial, then read this guy's review.  |  IP: Logged Ron Yost Master Film Handler Posts: 344 From: Paso Robles, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-19-2004 04:24 AM                     My god, Emma .. <political comment deleted by Admin> I'm not sure if I should thank you or curse you for posting this. I've decided to thank you. Problem is, I think he looks better in that commercial than he does in real life .. these days, anyway! Older, and severly botoxed, he and his wife Maria are truly frightening to behold. I'll bet you know that, tho. Ron Yost [ 09-19-2004, 09:26 AM: Message edited by: Brad Miller ]  |  IP: Logged
