I know. Apparently one of our recent fairy-tale successes was filmed with
raccoons 'cos the dumb colonials can't be bothered to work out what a badger is.
But the Audi commercial is _superb_. The fun bit starts _after_ the car stops
in front of the hedgehog, when the world inverts. The leaf (butterfly, say
some) falls off the hedgehog's back - the hedgehog looks up (down?) in alarm
and drops like a stone, and the A4 stays where it is.
