Every morning I drag myself out of bed at 7:45 (okay, I shouldn't be complaining) and start my day by turning on the BBC. Usually the news is pretty sobering: Darfur, military coups in Thailand, riots in Hungary, etc.

Every so often, of course, it's commercial time. Usually commercials are for business products, BBC documentaries, Zurich Insurance...serious stuff. But for the past few weeks this commercial has been playing on the BBC that just sticks out like a sore thumb...well, it would stick out on any channel really, except maybe Skinimax.

Anyway, the advertisement is for a piece of exercise equipment that simulates horseback riding. Apparently horseback riding is extremely good exercise?? I guess that's not the weird part...the part the makes me laugh is the girls dressed in all white, skin tight cowgirl outfits...and the camera job as it zooms in on the, ahem, muscles that are being toned.

Watch it for yourself. This is definitely somwhere between PG13 and R, so no kiddies, please. This is a link to YouTube:
