Dancing Biotech Ad Pays Homage to “Footloose” (video)

Posted on September 4, 2011 by


 

I have no idea what this commercial from biotech firm Simple Western is all about. Something bio-techy and nerdy. But it's a really cute and exuberant and has a lot of nice references to the break out dance movie "Footloose." That movie really influenced me as a devout Christian teenager who loved to dance!  And the ad features a number of local San Francisco Bay Area lindy hoppers, including Kirk Tarou, Nicole "Mouth" Frydman, Jean Ma, Bromley Palamountain and a few others.

"Western Blot! Simply press a button and walk away."

Um, okay then.  I guess I'll just walk away now…
