Parachuting Ostrich Ad Can Sell Us Anything

Full disclosure: This video was sent to me by my lovely father, Mel Collins. To his credit, it is the first time my parents have ever sent me something on the internet that I hadn’t seen. As a bonus, it is highly entertaining. Kudos, father.

If you’re like us, then you love ostriches. Not only is it the only bird in the animal kingdom that looks exactly like figure skater Oksana Baiul, but they also share similar physical features to ourselves (long legs, giant middle section, come hither eyes, etc.) They also have hilarious dinosaur feet. Consider us sold.

Now the Saatchi & Saatchi Johannesburg firm has taken our ostrich love to new heights, literally. Check out this ad for Cadbury Chocolates, where a parachuting ostrich gets to live out its dream… of flying. The cinematography alone is CLIO-award worthy.
