this british ad for the sega megadrive makes no sense
written by geoffrey on 04/12/07

an englishman goes into a barber shop and asks for the “cyber razor cut.” weird name, but brits call elevators “lifts,” so what do i know? suddenly, the barber becomes a mad scientist with crazy machinery, who pushes a lever to turn the man’s arm into a robot arm. then the man starts playing a sega in the store and asks, “what are you gonna do to keep up?”

i’ll tell you what i won’t do, early 90’s british guy, and that’s allow a barber who’s moonlighting as a mad scientist to turn me into a cyborg so i can beat sonic. i think i’ll just stick to my game genie, thanks.

    I just think it’s funny that the guy with the “cybercut” is Peter Wingfield AKA Methos in Highlander the Series.
