*In an advertisement for Cell C, a woman finds herself hitting her head on a cupboard door, slipping on wet floor, getting electrocuted by a toaster, her hand catching on fire by the stove and she jumps through a glass window to land in the pool. But it doesn't end there as after getting out of the pool all drenched, a bird drops a poo right on her eye and a helicopter floats above her, sending huge gusts of air as she lies on the floor. All of these happen to her in rapid succession.
