It's not that often that I'm wowed by a TV commercial, but today I am. This ad for Lurpak, a Danish brand of butter (margarine?), is really great. The narrator's voice is a little strange, but I guarantee after watching this you'll be singing "Chop chop chop chopping!" … read more

The video is a little long, but try and stick with it at least to 1:28, when they show how they did the now iconi… read more
