Ice cream shooting out of a man's jeans - hm, pretty weird!
The largest real money online gambling site in the world, Pokerstars, offers one-minute glimpse of a successful life as one of its players through elliptical references to daring deeds and bold choices from a variety of individuals. The fact that it's shot in black and white adds a touch of old-style elegance. What do you think of it? Glamorisation of what can become a dangerous addiction? Or a cool ad that captures the excitement and entertainment of its subject area really well?
