    That'll get your attention

    At the train station in Liverpool , T-Mobile did this great commercial — unbeknownst to the daily commuters. They practiced for 8 weeks and on January 15th, 2009, with hidden cameras and 400 dancers at 11:00 a.m. their plan was put into action.

    I wish spring would get here so I could get back in the shop.

      I have been in that train station a few times. It would have been quite something to see live.

          that was awesome!
          Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! -Rocky Balboa-

              That's probably where the words "WTF" were rampant.

                          From my experience, their commercials are way, way better than their service. That was awesome.

                              Liverpool Street Station, Bob, which is in East Central London.

                              Typhoo Tea also did a great commercial, involving Kool and the Gang's "Fresh," but I can't find a copy on-line anywhere. I'll try to dump it from a video copy I've got.

                                  Glad you got the correction in before I did.

                                  This is way cool like some of the stunts that have been done in NYC.

                                      Was awesome!!! Loved the way it ended with all stopping and just wandering off. Glad Ray straightened out the station, it looked familiar but I have never been to Liverpool.

                                              Wow, that was awesome. Ed, I have to disagree with you, I have had their service for over 3 years and it is great.
                                              I think in straight lines, but dream in curves
