Mercedes chicken advert
G'day Folks,
I don't think this has been posted yet. If it has - sorry - I missed it. This is one of those adverts that is funny now but will probably irritate later! Mercedes-Benz TV: MAGIC BODY CONTROL TV commercial "Chicken" - YouTube (enjoy or hate it)

They ripped off the idea from an older Fuji Film camera commercial

2 people need to quit with the power lunches.
One at the ad company, one at MB who approves commercials.

I thought it was actually kinda funny and cute but that probably stems from the fact that i've done the exact same thing with a chicken before. It's pretty fun to see
 However while we're on the subject of bird related Mercedes commercials, here's a good one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAflNmI9K-A

I really like the Mercedes chicken commercial. It is interesting that they can do that. I wonder if other birds can too?

I don't know about all birds, but FYI
geese, Guinea fowl and ducks can, turkeys -at least those in my sample group- can't.

I'm guessing it gives them the ability to focus on a bug as they move to catch it.
I think battleships and such have similar devices on their big guns.
