And an old white guy complete with sweater, thick glasses and one of those
hats that look more at home bobbing along down country roads in an MG rather than on a half-lit bus potholing it’s way through brick an mortar corridors, steps on at 38th with a contagious vigor. He quickly sits and removes his hat, exposing neatly parted and still wet grating hair.A woman in her 40s driving a small silver SUV passes us with two car
seats in the back, colorful bracelets behind each hand dutifully
gripping the wheel at ten and two o’clock. There’s no ring on her

Mr. Ben Kay said this new Adidas spot has some of the best editing he’s seen in a while. I’d like to second that assertion.
