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:”

and yet Cosmo magazine seems to love it!

Sooo.... that AA video make anyone else feel uncomfortable...?
The article says it's a spoof of a Virgin ad. Anyone has a link to that one?
they look like bowling pins, can I knock the big one on the right ? haha
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.
The creepiest part is the man in the dress doing parkour.
Bottom line, it worked. There is no such thing as bad publicity. It's getting someone's attention. That's their aim.
Shame on you for ridiculing that AMAZING thing. You know how something can be so bad that it's good? Well, this deserves an Oscar, I swear to God!!! I was LOLing, ROTFLing, and every other possible abbreviation. LOVE IT!
The pathos! The bathos! They immanentize the eschaton!
O, rubor and calor that brings such dolor.
Nice ta'meet ya! Nice ta'meet ya! and a Nice ta'meet ya! again.
Haha... so awful - and kinda great. Clearly a dude in a dress doing the aerial.
Don't you worry. Don't you worry child.
The best part is the man (clearly a man) doing the aerial in the pink dress. WHY! just why
Looks like we just have
"Looks like it's time to get a new travel agent!"
