Weird Creature?!!!

[Sooper]

Has anyone else noticed in the new Adidas advert where loads of people are chasing each other through woods etc that at the beginning of the advert there is a little weird furry creature? It freaks me out everytime i see it and i have no idea why or what its purpose is? Does anyone have any ideas ? I have no idea why it freaks me out either its just very odd and unatural i think!!!

It's OK, Sooper, you're not going mad! There is a furry fox/wolf-like creature, dressed in football kit, on screen for about - what - half a second (if that). Such a short period of time as to be almost subliminal. The only reason I can think of for it being there is to get people talking about the ad and therefore the product. "Did you see that?" "See what?" "That strange furry creature." "What creature?" "In that advert." "You want to cut down on the paracetamol, old chum". It seems to have worked!

I feel sorry for the person in the suit - he was probably told he had a great part in a TV ad :-)

Mmmm I have looked at it numerous times via the website and I cant make it out at all.  It has very fluffy hands and does look like a werewolf type creature. 

At the every beginning when they are just entering the wood and running left to right on the screen, in the foreground is a 'man' running back the way they have come, almost ape like.

Cant freeze the action but keep hitting the << button and you can see what I mean
