Much as with the Gap ads that have Audrey Hepburn dancing to AC/DC's Back in Black any commercial using old movie footage it gets my attention but certainly doesn't make me want to buy the item. And in fact makes me lose a little bit of fondness for everyone involved. This probably isn't the reaction the ad campaign is going for but am I the only one who feels this way?

The fact that she was 15 years old when she accomplished what she did, with a smile like that.. what more could you want.. The song in the video didnt sound like punk to me, but then again, I didn't know the blue hearts until now either.. Nice Article! Its nice to see Mao-chan’s face, no matter where it is.
