That was classic.
And it brings to mind a quote I heard from Mr. Stonefield (and I'm paraphrasing):
"Getting models to work for free is like wrangling cats."
(I may get the quote wrong, Stan, but it definitely made an impression on me :-)

I still don't know what they're selling...

Cool commercial nonetheless. :)

Oh man I enjoyed that video, hilarious...

And the quote was....

"Getting models organized is like herding cats" And I belive it was Fleshpainter who said that originally.

Getting models to work for free isn't much of a problem these days though, what with the past samples, they finally "get" what I wish to do. Now, getting someone to build me a flourescent lighting kit??? That's the latest one.

I thought the tag line "We bring together information, ideas, and technologies and make them go where you want" was self explanatory.
It probably helps to know that EDS (my wife's employer) is a major player in the IT industry. It was originally started by Ross Perot who sold it to GM several years later and took a run at the US presidency.
BTW, the commercial first aired during the 2001 Superbowl.

There were three in the EDS series:

-Cat Herders
-Running of the Squirrels
-Airplane (don't remember the title but about building an airplane while in flight)

All are very funny and well done!
