Fencing in Samsung Commercial

A few seconds ago, I was watching TV and I saw a commercial come on for Samsung. There was fencing in it!!! There were two chicks fencing, but they were like, you know dressed up strangely and their masks were uber-weird. There were only a few vertical wires, and the horizontal wires were spaced wide apart; in addition to that, the mask covered only the top 3/4 of their faces. So yeah, I felt the need to rush over to the computer and post a message on here. Yep.

I know! I thought that it was excellent... they could get seriously injured! I love when they get injured for being stupid... and I like the masks... they'd make great decorations.

The masks are great! They're very cool and sort of uber-modern. Although it makes me weak at the knees to think that anyone would wear something like that. I'd be terrified to wear it!

This Olympic fencing publicity is awesome, even if fencing can only be seen in ads. Someday....

I thought the Samsung fencing thing was kinda neat, but it seemed to be more Hero-style fencing than the kind we do. Still, kinda neat though.

I'm still chuckling over that Visa commercial-beep...beep...beep...

The one where it's like "What would the Olympics be like without any equipment?" And it shows all these sports, and then it gets to fencing, and one fencer just keeps poking the other, and the machine goes "beep...beep...beep". You kinda have to see it.

There was a thread about it somewheres.
