A MOONWALKING Shetland pony that shot to fame after being seen by millions in a TV advert for a mobile network is set to return to our screens.

The video of Socks dancing to the tune of Fleetwood Mac's 1988 hit Everywhere became an internet hit earlier this year, with more than seven million people viewing it on YouTube.

It has now been announced that Socks has been called back to star in a second commercial for the mobile phone network Three, again set on the windswept beaches of Shetland.

The company has teamed up with VisitScotland and Promote Shetland for The Knitwear Before Christmas campaign.

Socks will be kitted out in a Fair Isle Christmas sweater created by Shetland designer Doreen Brown in accompanying print adverts.

I don’t get it....mostly digitally generated video.

You’re not supposed to “get it”. It’s an English ad,and we are not equipped to understand their humor. But, it’s a cute pony.

Have the PETA and animal rights groups started screaming and moaning yet like that IDIOT yesterday who called Thanksgiving “Thankskilling” b/c of all the turkeys that sacrificed their lives so we mortals could pig out.

Had a GREAT Thanksgiving with lots of turkey, hope everyone else did too!!

“It’s an English ad,and we are not equipped to understand their humor.”

Watching “Monty Python” and “Are You Being Served?” wont help
with this one either. This one is just plain dumb. But hay
its the Brits. They are the product of 100’s of years of
mental molding. They even bow to people they think were
created by God to be better than them. These are not
sovereign individuals but members of a commonwealth collective
so they will find humor in what their “betters”
give them.

A young person in my family claims to be a vegan (but still wears the leather motorcycle jacket I gifted him/her), and ate "tofurkey" at Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. As a so-called vegan, this young person is militant, and has practically no sense of humor. Trying to inject some humor in the situation, I asked him/her what a tofurkey call would sound like. With the snarling surliness that only a know-it-all Generation.commer can conjure up, he/she snapped, "well, it's not a scream of pain".

Leave it to an under-30 Leftist to throw water on an otherwise pleasant family gathering.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

You should share this with your young relation...

That tofurkey may be screaming after all!

You might want to cut back on the caffeine in your coffee or increase your fibre intake.

Very interesting. However, the next step for him/her would be to not eat anything that's ever cast a shadow. He/she is probably only a few Mother Earth News articles away from eating only mold and fungus.

I get a bit suspicious whenever a headline contains the word “hilarious.” Yahoo does it all the time. I’ll decide what is hilarious, not someone trying to pimp a story.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Point taken. And furthermore, they didn’t share the new video — just last year’s. But, it was cute. Doesn’t qualifiy as hilarious, however.

I know hindsight is always 20/20, and I personally always think of perfect comebacks far after they are useful, but you could have replied, "you mean like the scream of pain the cow gave out to make your jacket?"

Tofurky? Blech!! That young leftist is in for a hard, rude awakening. I reckon it takes about 10 years for all the brainwashing to wear off.

As for Tofurky!!!:::!!! Is there ANYTHING more disgusting?

[Chickensoup]

What is that,

It looks a bit like that whale that exploded.

[Bon of Babble]

Supposedly it’s “tofurky” but who knows?

Enough to swear me off anything vegetarian for a lifetime!!

DH overcooked the turkey yesterday to a burnt crisp and it didn’t look anywhere near that bad.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

What IS that thing??? It looks like the Alien eggs opening up in that movie . . . . Yikes!

More imperial humor?
