This ad is not as good as the one they did over ten years ago when news of ever-increasing incidents of violent crime was the biggest fear among South Africans. If I remember right the ad has something like a boot camp where they train chickens to fight crime. Someone shouts out “Attack! Attack!” and you get this low shot of chickens running. Simple and hilarious. Can’t find it on YouTube though.
