Haredim and HDTV (video)

This is an ad that ran from the cable television company YES advertising the introduction of HDTV in Israel.
They took the Haredi propensity to protest these types of things and turned it into a funny video...

  1. Nicely done, but there are no yellow cabs in Israel, and very few American flags hanging on buildings. This was obviously filmed in the US.

  2. wow. you really pay attention to detail... I have no idea where it was shot... but you are right, and the building also does not look like Israeli architecture... also many of the featured hassidim have beards that are trimmed much shorter than what would be expected....
    I still thought it was funny...

  3. I find it quite anti-Semitic, yet the tune is catchy and the choreography is great.

  4. "the tune is catchy" - that is the tune to the famous song "YMCA"....
