    oh hell./..you would do this when Im on a 28.8 dialup at work...bastardo!

    Hopefully, it is a funny clip of a cat or cat-like creature having something weird done to it...that would be funny...(using imagination to imagine it)

    Ill look at it later when I get home and see if it is close to my imagination ...;)

    I recommend treating this thread like a spoiler then, and not reading anymore posts.

    I know. Me too. I take solace in the fact that other cats would have laughed at him too, if cats would just learn how to laugh at themselves, and if there was a Funniest Home Videos show for cats.

    You can play it slow mo, back and forth. That is one helluvan edit if there's one there. Can anyone detect it? It really seems like an actual home video that they edited to place into the Nokia window. I don't think that can be staged, even if they wanted, too. Just way too flukey.

    I used Final Cut Express to view it frame by frame and also checked out the audio track. It looks seemless and legit up to the product tie in.

    Why is it that cats getting pummeled is always funny?

    Never understood. Is it just male psyche? Or is it the fact that a dog would never get caught this way?

    In either case, hilarious!

    Thread title is misleading, there's no way that's the stunt cat from Monty Python.

    Uproar over Nokia ad video
    By Vanda Carson
    March 17, 2003

    MOBILE phone company Nokia is red-faced over an unauthorised advertisement containing images of animal cruelty circulating via email.

    Nokia Australia's head of marketing, Antony Wilson, said the video clip was not an official advertisement but might be an unauthorised version produced by one of Nokia's 52 advertising agencies worldwide.

    If agency staff were found to have circulated the 20-second clip, branded with the Nokia logo, they would face legal action, Mr Wilson said.

    The RSPCA complained to the telecommunications giant last week after viewing the video, which shows a cat spinning around a room while hanging from a ceiling fan and then hitting a wall with a thud.

    "I see it as damaging for our brand - it breaks all of our advertising guidelines," Mr Wilson said.

    The ad purports to promote the latest model Nokia phone, released in Australia last week, and contains voices with Australian accents, adding credibility to the theory it was produced here.

    But the nature of the internet means it is almost impossible to tell how many people have received the clip or where it originated.

    Mr Wilson acknowledged the clip could have been made by an amateur digital film-maker or a professional at an advertising agency as an in-house joke.

    "Agencies make a variety of options, many of which will never get shown to the client because they don't fit the client's brief or advertising guidelines," he said.

    "It is possible this was one of those."
