Commercial Break: Rollerbabies – it’s impossible for you not to love this

By Andy Dawson

You might have already seen this as it’s gone uberviral over the past couple of days; but even if you have seen it, you’re just a single click away from watching it one more time, and unless you’ve got a heart as cold and dark as a cave, we know that’s exactly what you’ll do.

Rollerskating babies and Rapper’s Delight. Utter perfection.

Just think of the petrol it takes to move bottled water from FRANCE to YOUR HOUSE. 1000 large bottles of evian (1 litre) weighs exactly ONE TON.

That fact alone should stop anyone who gives a monkies about the environment enough reason not to buy it.

Oh, plus the fact it’s 99.99999% the same as your tapwater. Oh and tapwater is FRESH, unlike evian which has been sitting in a plastic bottle for god knows how long.

Bottled water is the biggest con in the history of life on earth, they should put governement warnings on it saying ‘THIS IS JUST WATER – SAME AS YOU GET FROM A TAP – IT HAS NO HEALTH OR NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS WHATSOEVER’.

Man, that’s a dodgy comment… maybe Michael Jackson lives on!

Now if it were 20 naked ladies and Motorhead then it just may be perfection, man style!

I will feed my future babies on Evian, instead of mothers breast milk, if it will make them dance like this.

1000 litre bottles is not 1 ton exactly…nice try though,plus i think you will find that evian ship a damn sight more than a ton at a time,at which point the environmental effect shrinks even further into the negligible range.

personally i drink tap water,but still your argument is bullsh*t.

So what if it has been sitting around in a plastic bottle, it is the same as tapwater. You just said so.

@ idiot eater:

“1000 litre bottles is not 1 ton exactly…nice try though”

At 4°C pure water has a density (weight or mass) of about 1 g/cu.cm

Meaning 1 litre will weigh 1kg.

so 1000 litres will weigh 1000kg or one ton.

Welcome to the metric system my friend.

Or let me guess you want to include the weight of the bottles?

That advert is fucking shit. The songs good though.

HSE needs to take a look at this…the babies should wear safety helmets, kneepads, wrist guards and elbow pads.

Not just the bottles, but the wooden pallets too.

well done you! an empty 1 litre bottle weighs about 25grams (0.88 ounces) ,so thats 25kg (55 pounds) of plastic not including the wrapping used to hold together the six packs,the wrapping to hold together the 4 six packs etc…

Also this being a co.uk website I would have thought we would have used the imperial system,at which point you come up about 36 pounds light even if you just wanted to calculate the water without packaging.

Either way its not exactly 1 ton, so thats another idiot eaten.

Does anyone else not think this advert is just fucking creepy?!
Posted by Naricussus | July 7th, 2009 at 11:39 am

The song used in this advert is also apparently the first ever rap song, “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugar Hill Gang.

The Spag, …… this is animated you freak! lol and if you knew that and are insisting they wear helmets to set an example then I suggest you slap yourself with a bag of soiled diapers
