Hey PrincessChattie, hey to burst your bubble, but even the UK has a bunch of fatasses now. In today's beautiful world, America has strived to lose weight and learn the value of health and we've come along way. :)Stop being a small-minded-hard-headed prat.
You realize the Americans being obeese thing is a sterotype right? It's not real. So shut up your big ugly toothed wanker and go lose all your wars. muwahhahha
Also, something being a stereotype does NOT mean it is NOT true. In this case it IS. Many Americans are fat and other developed nations are only starting to catch up.
@adamzez no im not a country... and im not fat... its just sad that we are the fattest country. whatre we going to do to change those statistics? should we just let fast food corporations send the wrong message to all americans about how to "eat like olympians" and go to mcDonalds?
@adamzez lol we are the fattest country in the world, just to let u know... its not stereotype that we have the biggest obesity problem out of anyone by a mile.. and who cares if its david elsewhere
@adamzez lol we are the fattest country in the world, just to let u know... its not stereotype that we have the biggest obesity problem out of anyone by a mile.. and who cares if its david elsewhere
George sampson is really not a good example of britains talent so is you fatass americans would get off your fat ass and stop watching t.v all day and culturise yourself with other continents/countrys you'd realise. And don't bother me with emails calling me a douche bag and telling me i "suck".
Although i am not American I have to agree wtih Neur0. Also it's true that George has talent and potential, but there are millions of people his age that are much more talented and deserving.

David Elsewhere is the nuke and that kid from Uk is like a BB gun. I did not mean to be nasty, but you have to give David his credit. The kid from Uk is a good kid, but not on the same plain as David and clearly an attempt to copy David was made
There were three dancers in total. To maintain Gene Kelly's likeness, they wore prosthetics and for the close-ups Kelly's face was digitally superimposed on.
to the first reply on this thread....remember the national Lampoon magazine ad showing a vw bug floating in water and stated, "If only Ted Kennedy where drivng a VW bug" ( Maryjo Kopekney would be alive today)
I agree with you, but I guess that's the painful truth about art in advertisements. Many artists are sacrificing some of their dignity for more money, because advertising pays very well, which is totally understandable. Hell, we still enjoyed this commercial. It's just all about how the artist can balance their scale, between dignity and selling out.
@%&*# it's late...Those were answers to the questions below. Mint Royal did the Remix for this commercial, it's pretty easy to find. For the Beetle commercial with the Aqualung music; just search some sites for vw/commercial/aqualung. David is very talented and so is Aqualung :) Now I'm going to sleep.
