insurance company advertisement

[Goffredo]

Hi guys<br>
on Italian TV there is a new series of commercials for R.A.S., a big insurance company.<br>
The newest one is Ulysses at Troy. The equipment looks really darn good (although hoplitic) and the computer scenery of Troy and the beach-head with ships is very nice! They did an excellent job. For a commercial!!!<br>
Check it out. Its funny too!<br>

“At nostris militibus cunctantibus maxime propter altitudinem maris, qui decimae legionis aquilam ferebat, obtestatus deos ut ea res legioni feliciter eveniret, 'desilite' inquit 'commilitones, nisi vultis aquilam hostibus prodere; ego certe meum rei publicae atque imperatori officium praestitero.' hoc cum voce magna dixisset, se ex navi proiecit atque in hostes aquilam ferre coepit tum nostri cohortati inter se, ne tantum dedecus admitteretur, universi ex navi desiluerunt. hos item ex proximis navibus cum conspexissent, subsecuti hostibus adpropinquaverunt.â€Â

Ulysses and insurances???<br>
<br>
BTW, the uniforms indeed look good (but they have forgotten those catapults with Greek fire).<br>

Hi the commercial is funny because after Ulysses convinces everyone of his great idea (note the technical drawing!) they all march off towards Troy (great scenery) full of confidence...<br>
ONLY to turn the corner and INSTEAD of coming up to the great horse there is just a huge Russian Doll!!!<br>
I guess the message is that without proper finacial support great ideas can miss out and fall short.<br>
