Ah, very astute of you. It's being used on an ad for Vodafone. You can see a free stream of it here: (click either the narrowband or broadband play options.)The site that the ad is on is a clearinghouse of ads. You can download ads to your iPod, so you can interrupt watching whatever television show you paid to put on your iPod without ads and put the ads back. They also give you all sorts of info about the ad: agency, product info, song used (for this one they give the name of the song but not the recording artist - but it's obviously The Only Ones and not the Blink-182 cover version which I just now found out existed), location of the film shoot (left blank here) and production companies (Nerd alert - Post-production was done by the folks who do the special effects for the new Doctor Who.). You can log in (!) to the site to ad information and vote on your favorite ads.
This is the posted synopsis of the ad in question (remember, it's for a weekend cell-phone calling plan):
The advert starts with weird fantasy birds flying and then has two female friends skating on the ice, then a mother and a daughter are walking through a large and dense forest, then the daughter walks across a bridge and next to a waterfall where she is picked up by her flying boyfriend.The advertising business always fascinates me.
