A good reason to have a pair of glasses.

I've never seen this on tv. And judging from the content I doubt it would have ever been run. This is a bit too explicit, liberal Europe or not.

A lot of the ads on iFilm are those that are made but never shown on TV due to censorship. However, ad agencies know now that to bypass tv censorship, they can use the internet, which is why you get to see ads like this. They become viral videos. Just like the brilliant, but un-aired xbox shooting ad that never got aired but become an instant success on the internet, and that means people are talking about it and sending them to their friends. Which is the whole purpose of an ad: to get attention.
I still think the xbox ad is the best one I've seen yet. This ad comes in second, but not any where as brilliant as the xbox one.
