kingandyI don't know about you but I love it when adverts spoof each other. Especially when they're as carefully recreated as this.
(If you don't know the original, see here. Of course being a compressed video file of a TV capture the colours aren't as bright and vivid as you'd see on the telly, but even then Sony would have you believe the colours aren't as bright as vivid as they'd be on their telly. Which perhaps defeats the object of using that particular argument in a TV advert. Like those Sky HD adverts. I mean it's lovely, but really, nothing about it says "Hey this would be prettier on an HD TV." In fact quite the opposite. But I digress.)
On an unrelated note, I've decided I will probably bother to go and see The Covenant when it's on, since the lead was Warren Peace in Sky High. Shallow, me?

Has some funny one-liners, but the Craft it aint.
