YAES I guess... Ebay item 5958692012 is a VIRAL ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY where you may buy a viral ad where Victoria Beckham gets hit by a bus. "Please note that we do not offer the sponsor any editorial control over the final released film"

I wonder about that Cindy cameo as well, perhaps just a pepsi nod to Cindy ads of the past (where there was a reason she starred, playing the role of the all american beautiful babe she does so well). The Fab Five guy gawking after the Pepsi man is a joke that works without a celeb gay fella as well.. Though I suppose it is funnier when you know the guy from TV, maybe.
Watching telly here I'm cracking up over those Gilette ads with Beckham in them, not because he must have had a crash course in how to shave like that for the camera - he pulls off the standard swipe off the chin shave that all shaving ad models do very well - but because it looks like he's wearing baguette cut "diamond"* cufflinks in his ear.

Thanks for getting the Ringu reference. ;)
So these days media-channels can reject ads based on style? Wow. You'd think they'd refuse those horrible "I'm not a lawyer but I play one on TV" or annoying ringtone ads first. ;)
Yep, you'e right Caff, the Napster one crossed my mind as well, that's a good example too.
Isn't it quite scary though? Not that we assume stuff (a lot of people assume too much trust me), but that like you say - we can't assume anything any more.
