I think whoever wrote the lines wrote them with too young a person in mind - exactly Like Moceanu as has been said. I have a general dislike for all brands of advertising like this but I do admit it would have worked better if the gymnast was younger. I just can never get used to the insincerity of these things - the canned emotion. <br /><br />Yeah I do see why they chose the skills they did, and why Nastia was approached for this job (I guess if it is an advert for a whole channel watched by people that perhaps only tune into a bit of gymnastics every 4 years then the last face they would recognize would probably be Nastia).LloydMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341630229725069671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353917441739196825.post-57032973237583758562011-12-28T20:34:37.031-08:002011-12-28T20:34:37.031-08:00It's particularly creepy because she is 22. It...It's particularly creepy because she is 22. It's one thing when they fluff up people like DMoceanu pre-1996 (urgh the early 90s fluff), or even Shawn in 07 as little girls, this just seems really weird. And actually, what's with gymnastics and the whole "little girls" thing. Very melodramatic. <br /><br />I guess to the general public, a front aerials, back handsprings are impressive enough. No point making more complicated, messy, harder skills. Sad, but true. Though.. front aerials are never really aesthetically pleasing in slow mo (or photos), not enough back flexibility I think.Elanymirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08140273464032721524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353917441739196825.post-35212084297782942892011-12-28T18:45:33.742-08:002011-12-28T18:45:33.742-08:00I like Nastia.

The copy is bad and the delivery is whiny and creepy.<br /><br />"Before you're in alee athlee, you're a lil girl." <br /><br />They should've stuck to the voiceover guy, or even had just the music in the beginning.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157092962345960003noreply@blogger.com
