Given the intent of the add, I believe in this add we have found a dictionary definition for FUBAR.
The girls look wild and disinterested in anything but posing, while the man seems intimidated by their presence - in other words, they've set it up as competition from thing one. I believe the use of women behaving in such a manner and dressing in such a manner was meant to suggest that women in the sciences needn't be stuffy. Its all I can really imagine. Given the best they could do to appeal to women with the sciences was to suggest that cosmetics involves chemistry? Well that is certainly missing the point. And while I can understand that really thinking about it, quite a few good looking women don't go into the field, I don't see why it should be aimed exclusively at those women. After all the idea is to get women into the sciences, not give ex-models new careers as magazines trend towards more 'realistic' women - whatever the hell that means.
I now wish to rant about modelling... Thank whatever god(s) there are I'm human. Self control intact. Rant not begun. Now ending post.
The add was so stupid as to barely warrant comment by the way. I seriously can't believe the EU would pay for that and question anything any member state did with their money. Suddenly, the space pen doesn't seem like so stupid a multi-million dollar investment on the part of NASA, even though the Russians pulled it all off with a grease marker.

Topic: Bad video. Feels more as if it's trying to attract *guys* by being all "look, sexy girls posing in SCIENCE!".
I needed to build those castles for my ponies. Including death traps, obviously.
Yep, this. Worked for me. Never wanted barbies (okay, I wanted and got ponies, but...) but Lego? Yeah!Kalezian said:
