On a lighter note than our last instalment, this week we’ve fallen in love with A-dam Underwear’s new advert, If You’ve Got Balls. Highlights include driving an ‘electric car’ (dodgem) to work, testing the durability of boxer shorts by sitting in a car whilst a bulldozer drives over it, and harvesting cotton in a woodchipper. Fine work.

Talk about timing.
