Air New Zealand Has the Greatest, Most Middle-Earth-Filled Commercial Ever
With the final Hobbit film coming (and presumably the final Middle Earth film from Peter Jackson in the near future, unless he figures out a way to split the last 20 pages of The Hobbit into 5 movies), Air New Zealand is honoring the films with what appears to be the most huge, sweeping, and epic commercial an airline has ever produced. It includes cameos from Peter Jackson, Elijah Wood, and more.
Although any self-respecting Middle-Earther would probably just stick with Gandalf’s eagles over an airline.
When people say ‘I hate math’ what you’re really saying is, ‘I hate the way mathematics was taught to me.’ Imagine an art class, in which, they teach you only how to paint a fence or wall, but never show you the paintings of the great masters. Then, of course, years later you would say, ‘I hate art.’ What you would really be saying is ‘I hate painting the fence.’ And so it is with math. When people say ‘I hate math’ what they are really saying is ‘I hate painting the fence.’
