The Ballet Trockadero de Monte Carlo has been doing their amazing parody of Swan Lake for years. Did you ever think you would see the concept adapted for a Super Bowl tv commercial, complete with NFL players in the role of swans?
In the background, much like the Trocks, the players are in tutus. After years of homophobic ads broadcast to subconsciously defuse the homo-eroticism of the games, this spot is a welcome departure, if a shameless rip-off.
