So the moral of this story is that New Balance Shoes bring incredibly large porcupines back from the dead and make them walk like they have wheels for feet?

Love the Apples In Stereo though...

No need to look for the moral in a lifestyle ad, esp when it's completely senseless like this one.

the moral is chris and joe need to try harder!

the whole idea is that he revived the thing, so the least they could do was to get the animal movement right, instead you see the stuffed thing being pulled with a string or something.... absolutely terrible... I don't know how new balance paid for this!

The porcupines(?) move is terribly image less
Take some shoot from zoo and add with this.
everything after he touch the animal is bullshit except coloring.
I Like the way of thinking
