Did anyone notice the book on the seat of the Rover who's title reads
"Birds of prey" ?
Well the bird that was being photographed is not a bird of prey, it is a scavenger better known as a Turkey vulture.
How could they Overlook this?
Big B

Didn't get it. Except to make note of two yuppies driving two of the worlds biggest pieces of shit SUV's on the planet. Thank goodness there were two of them cauz one of them is going to need a ride off the mountain.
What crap!

Don't get me going on the Dodge thing. Mine 04 3500 Cummins Diesel Dually. Love my truck. Sorry i wont do it again.

hahahah, though I've seen some for2's in US it still brings me a smile to my face - knowing the average car size in US :)

as for jeep's... well... I remember like one time I was in Florida and we got a free upgrade from Thrifty... Jeep - the road from Pensacola to New Orlean was a hell and I'm not a luxury car boy :)

@msmoto - You can actually drive Land Rover, which can't be spoken about Jeep, never I drove such uncomfy car before - really don't know what people see in Jeeps.

I will find one and send a photo, ha, ha, ha...... actually some of the newer models are fairly comfortable....and full of luxuries. But, both the Land Rover and the Jeep in the US drink lots of fuel.... so I zip around most of the time in my Smart fortwo. I have always admired the Land Rovers, have had the Toyota Land Cruiser, and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.....absolutely a mind blower...an off road vehicle capable of up to 265 kph. Currently I use for my big, four wheel drive, a Dodge Cummins Diesel truck.... oh well...

What it actually means is that it doesn't matter if you shoot Canon or Nikon,just that you absolutely have to have a Range Rover to get decent shots of buzzards ;>)

Maybe as Sigmund Freud is reported to have said, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" the commercial is about two RangeRover models and both go up hills off road.... kinda like a Jeep only at three times the cost, ha, ha, ha..... Oh, the gas is about the same, though....

Yep that's it.

Assuming you're right, what on earth has that got to do with Land Rovers? Oh it's no use, I give up, way too subliminal for me.

I get it.....The Canon guy toots his horn and causes the Nikon shooter to miss a good shot of the bird. It's about jealousy and envy, right.

Looked like the Nikon guy got the shot in flight. The canon guy missed.

They're both driving vehicles that cost them $300 a week in gas to get pictures of ugly birds. They both lose.

Who the hell spends that much coin to take pictures of buzzards??

Does this include sea gulls and pelicans? LOL

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. LOL, I agree...

OK, a little confession...I do drive around the race course with the D4 on the back of the 400 with the TC-20EIII attached as the overall length is too long for the soft case. But, it all sits partially in the soft case and the case is secured in the front seat, lens cover on lens. And this is in a Smart fortwo. Or Smart forone plus gear.

And, about that Canon shooters being smarter than Nikon....mmm it was the Nikon shooter who had his lens cap on at the Olympics.... Maybe the Nikon shooters have worse hangovers....

.I do not think I would drive around with my 400 sitting in the front seat without a cover on it nor without having it fastened in its case... but, what the heck...

what you need is proper Rand Lover ( the 90 is best ) with a padded cuddy box, between the two found seats

for Pro video look how the Top Gear Rang rover is adapted

@SkintBrit - You don't have to understand it, it's target towards american market not european one ;)

@msmoto - analysing deeply the commercial, one can assume that canon shooters are smarter as they use cases to transport the lenses :)

It is a put on.... the commercial has multiple "continuity breaks" in that when the angle changes, the entire scene has changed... look at it and figure out the placement and angle of the Nikon 400mm on the tripod, then look at the last scene....

But, it is an interesting commercial...I do not think I would drive around with my 400 sitting in the front seat without a cover on it nor without having it fastened in its case... but, what the heck...

Beep beep 0.22

Listened to it half a dozen times......still none the wiser. Obviously my IQ is not up to the job.

Nice ad :)

I think few will get the punchline.

I'm one of them :-) ??? It's not actually to do with the Canon/Nikon rivalry is it? And if so, what has that got to do with Land Rover? Or is it because they have different models as well..........no you better explain it to me, this add wouldn't work in the U.K.

On a complete side note, how is Land Rover received around the world, especially in the most Patriotic country I know?
