Dontcha just love animals doing cute things? A dancefloor for chicks, computer screen for rabbits or puppy photo booth - just some of the suggested uses for the new Samsung Ultra Touch s8300 (why do phones have such rubbish names?) in this new ad from The Viral Factory. Click through to watch it.

The phone has a large and SuperBright screen, we are assured, hence all these suggested uses to which it might conceivably be put. Fluffy animals acting like people and being cute - as near a sure fire thing as it gets in adland. Not a patch on Hammy The Hamster though...

"tiresome lo fi viddies. run of the mill, sorry to say it"

Why do I always get the feeling when I read that, that some ATL creative is lashing out at the interwebs for digging this rather than their beautiful HDTV advert.

For the record, I like it. How exciting can you make a touchscreen phone these days anyhow?
