I saw on dad's blog the other day that there's a new IRN BRU ad out for Christmas. I missed its showing on TV recommended by dad so checked it out online just now. This is absolutely superb! Not only does it show you lots of well known Scottish tourist attractions, but the new words to the old song are brilliant. The sweet snowman turns into some sort of evil Glasgow ned and mugs a kid for his Irn Bru while flying over the Falkirk Wheel, Loch Ness (complete with monster), Edinburgh Castle, the Forth rail and road bridges, Eilean Donan castle, Glasgow Royal Opera House, Glasgow's George Square and the rail viaduct at Glenfinnan. This has to be the best ad I've seen in years. I, for one, will be drinking nothing but Irn Bru for the whole festive season I'm so impressed :-)

I don't get all of this posting; but I do like the accompaning picture. The snnowman is the cutest ,-) We have the book without words about him. Is he Scottish?
Did you watch the ad, Sebastian? Or won't it show on Macs?
Ok - the posting is about a drink - like the Scottish version of Coke, say. A drink only sold in Scotland, not even England. The company has taken the well-known movie about the sweet snowman, complete with beautiful choir music, changed the words and made the snowman fly through the air above all of Scotland's main tourist attractions, before turning evil and stealing the drink off the child and dropping him in Glasgow. The child torments the snowman throughout the journey by refusing to let him taste his drink, until the snowman gets his revenge. They have made the story fit the original music.
I didn't even try to watch the ad, but I should I see. Strange way to use the sweet story ;-|
