The. Greatest. Advert. Ever.

The trains here are pretty fantastic. Above each door are two TV screens - one shows useful information - exit details for the next station depending on which carriage you're in, next station, delays etc. The other is purely adverts.

My favourite is for a Lucozade-type drink - GABA - click on the word. Let it load and press play.

The woman is wholly adorable. She dances, she sings, and she looks Bjorkily-cute. Until she turns into a psychopath serial killer! What's with the horror-genre schizophrenic cuts at the end?! And her smile is so demonic and possessive that you don't even notice the bottle light up. It's a highlight of my day, and cracks me up every time.

Only in Japan.

Bit confused Philip. We have just watched it twice and she definitely doesn't turn into a serial killer in the clip we saw. More explanation needed please.

all that fast cuts around her face. you don't think it's a little schizophrenic - the editing?

No? Nevermind.

Sorry Philip. I still can't see it. I think you have been watching too much football! It's made you hallucinate.
