Beautiful!!!!

The Hyundai Veloster Banned Commercial

This Hyundai Veloster commercial is banned on dutch television. That's very funny. They make me look at sanitary napkins pretending to be water lily's and telling me that I have to enjoy my period. They make me look at annoying bears which I have to follow into cupboards which aren't cupboards but a landscape of bottles of detergent / softener or whatever. They make me look at simple celebrity's who don't have a voice anymore because of some simple mobile phone contract ... et cetera et cetera ... Get the picture?

This is one terrific commercial!
