A cool premise for a movie!  Angels surrender their haloes (but keep their wings) and pursue earthly love.  In the movie, some of the fallen angels would probably be male, the rest female, and if the moviemakers have the guts, some would be heterosexual, the rest not.

Letting the angels keep their wings is what makes this cool to me, as the fallen angels would thus be super-beings even without their haloes.  Perhaps they'd have other powers too, like invisibility, intangibility, and telepathy.

It would also be cool if the angels were presented as rejecting heaven but not necessarily embracing hell.  Some could embrace hell and thus walk a demonic path, while others could reject hell as readily as heaven, and walk a third, more balanced path.

This commercial was banned in South Africa because it was "offensive to Christians."

yeah it's a great commercial, in the UK the product's called 'Lynx'. They always have good ads, it's just a shame the product's so shite, stinky deodorants for teenage boys!

My wife used to teach 16/17 year olds and the stench of Lynx as the wannabe Casanova's paraded down the corridors would have made the marketing dept' at Lynx jump for joy!

Hm, I don't think I've ever actually seen this aired on TV. Possibly due to the fact that I don't watch TV often enough, or maybe the moral majority stomped it off the air.  ;D

Either way, I think it's a very well done commercial. I can understand why some might find it offensive, but I don't think this commercial was too bad.
