Actually that ad's been running for quite a number of months now, at
least
here in Toronto. Personally I always found it a little disturbing -
and
not for the obvious reason. In the background you hear didgeridoo
(sp?)
music playing.  Thus in the mind of the viewer, these garish,
incoherent
parodies of "cavemen" are associated with Australian Aborigine
culture.
Charming.

p.s. I'll pipe up on the roe thread: I ADODRE ikura, the big orange
salmon roe. Love to pop 'em individually in my mouth mmmmmmm, briny
goodness.  I bought a small jar at an italian gourmet store. No dye or
other poisons, but you pay thru the nose ($8). If anyone's interested
I
can get the name of the brand.
