    Fairly unrelated, but the following is by far my favorite commercial this year. It’s from a Dutch beer brand and it refers to the Austrian band Opus and their 1985 worldwide hit single.

    Reminded me of Colourbox. Then went all wonky and blew it. Still, it might be fun to watch one with adds that amerkins would rekinize.
