A Scottish travel agency, Thorne Travel, released a new “advertisement” a few days ago which is getting quite a bit of attention. Here’s the roughly three minute video on YouTube:

I mean… wow.

The Telegraph reveals the most terrifying part of the video (as if Mickey Mouse didn’t have that covered):

Co-ordinating the perfect strut took staff four days to perfect in the office. “We got some funny looks through the window, I can tell you.”

That “perfect strut” took them four days to perfect?! 😮

It’s quite possibly the second most ridiculous thing I’ve seen this month, after the American Airlines Miami “safety music video:”

The article says it's a spoof of a Virgin ad. Anyone has a link to that one?

OK so like - the boat captain guy - 1) how the he&& does he just happen to be there and 2) why is his left sleeve like 12-inches longer than it needs to be? Is this common to all boat captains? This was the point in the video that I just cracked.
