Nice, but I was thinking along more dangerous grounds, the first time I went through it...

He who dominates often has no real friends...

Very good point :)

I must argue that this work could have been donated. Even if it was paid for, this is VERY cheap to shoot.

what? look at the lighting (how well you can see the drop!) and the way the camera moves - this is no cheap shoot.

Reminds me of a film. Same idea. But still it's smart.

Very smart. It's hard to find great twists in advertising nowadays, and this is one.

Nice. Simple, but effective and quite emotional.

Anybody watched british TV show "Only Fools and Horses"?

Obviously, the creators of the ad did!

And since this is a british ad makes it even more weak, as people would recognize the scene. Or were they playing on that?

He who dares wins!
