Where I can nominate this to best ad of the year? Rated it 5 thumbs up.

After breaking out in hack-hives from watching the superbowl ads, I'm pleased to see Kenyan creatives kick Budweiser creatives butt.

Great commercial. Does anyone know who the artist is on that song?

check your nearest music store for a band called Blue - the song "One Love" is from the album by the same name.

Does anyone else find it curious that the Kenyan condom fits easily over an entire umbrella?

I think they're trying to say they're extra large maybe? ;)
