  1. .... the new Orangina advert.

    Wrong - on so many levels.

    Thanks for posting this. I wasn't sure if I'd imagined it and was
    worried to ask...

    I thought it was me, but I'm glad that someone else feels the same way!

    Is this about dancing animals. It does look rather questionable.

    This one?

    Hmm, attention-grabbing, provocative, memorable... sounds to me like
    someone at the ad agency's gonna get a big bonus for this one.

    Hmm. Are you fond of musical theatre, too?

    It is... odd.

    But then, I was slightly uncomfortable to realise that I'd got a semi
    whilst watching the girls dressed up as antelopes in the Lion King
    parade at Disneyland.

    hah - I was thinking exactly the same thing.

    Oh, and the Buzby Berkely film that it references, IIRC, is "Footlight
    Parade".

    Also, isn't the "falling into flowers" bit from "American Beauty"?

    Basically, the ad is letting you know that if you like Orangina,
    you're a fucking poof.

    Well clearly you do, as just discussed. What I find worrying isn't the
    fact that you spotted the references, but the fact that you were
    looking at the dancers in that way anyway.

    Nothing wrong with spraying your partner with white frothy stuff. Nothing at
    all, even if she's a bit of an animal.

    Of course not.

    There never are...

    In my defence the costumes were *very* tight, and the dancers were
    *very* fit.

    Go and try front row seats at the Chicago musical. They're quite well
    presented sets of muscles.

    The least sexy performance I've ever seen is the nutcracker that that
    chap's been touring recently. It evoked many things, none of them positive.
