I really like this ad. It's so simple but yet, the message is so effective and clear - without having to explain it.
If you haven't seen it, here it is:-
*I'd always thought this was his song - i remember hearing him sing it when i was a wee little kid. But i found out recently that it was a remake of Paul Anka's classic released in 1960!!!

awww. i'm getting a bit tired of this type of ads, but this is sweet. the kid acts really well.
to me, it's how they can say so much about national unity, overcoming racial boundaries etc - without actually saying it.
and yeah, everyone loves the buck-tooth kid! :-)
