[Dave Altman] The title says it all, "A mother ruins the rhythm of a store full of people juggling." As a professional juggler, the CGI is insulting with the mother's hands moving in such a fake way. It not difficult juggling to do for real. Why not hire a real juggler? Some of us can act as well. It's not a difficult acting job, either. Myself or any professional juggler could have done it a lot cheaper than using CGI, too.

[Mike] I'm also a juggler, and don't find the add offensive at all. I think it would look a lot more boring and less vivid if real juggling was used.

[Patrick Hedges] Another professional juggler here.
I didnt find the ad offensive, neccesarily. I think, however, the mother, being the focal point of the ad, should have been a real juggler. There are plenty of good female jugglers that could have easily filled the role.

[disgustipated] first. .

I just dont understand this. . . the computer animation just looks bad, even from a non-juggler's perspective this looks contrived and artificial-how would real juggling do anything but improve this commercial?
also, the entire premise of these check card commercials is ridiculous. anyone who has ever worked in retail, or run any sort of cash register can tell you (unless they just can't count) that no, credit cards are NOT faster than cash. maybe, at times, they are faster than writing a check, but even that is marginal. credit card machines are slow, awkward, and generally terrible pieces of technology.
come to think of it, the fact that these people used CGI instead of hiring jugglers makes perfect sense. they advocate a terrible, needlessly complex service over a simple exchange of currency. why should we expect anything rational from them?

[gafisher] I'd be the last to call a juggler vain, but real or CGI the ad certainly presented juggling in a favorable light.

[poetamelie] Ah, whatever. This is one of the sweetest commercials I've seen in a long time. Adorable!
