 Did anyone else see the Energizer advert in which:

 scene; some sort of big sports arena, presumably they're playing football
or whatever, and it's the end of the game.

 throughout the audience, flashes fire, fire some more, then start to fade
out

 eventually, only a single lone camera is left, flashing away time after
time.


 Theoretical advertising selling point: energiser batteries last longer.

 Actual advertising selling point: people who buy energiser batteries are
just as dumb as the next guy when it comes to flash, they just have more
chances to demonstrate that ignorance..

 (and they won'd advertise fast lenses, because they don't need batteries..
well, unless they're on a wunderbrick or something, I guess)
