Australian actresses plagiarize quantum mechanics lecture

I found this hilarious in many senses:

My impression is that whoever came up with this commercial is a complete moron. To start with, the dialog sounds horrible because it was meant to be rhetorical and the models do a terrible job "acting" on it (they do not look intelligent at all). Actually, it made me remember of my primary school plays with kids reading papers on stage. That not being enough, the dialog was stolen from a lecture on the web and the guys responsible for the ad, who paid a lot for the scenery, models, filming, etc, did not even care to send an e-mail asking permission to the professor who wrote that. If I were him, I would sue them, mainly for the poor job they did with the commercial. It degrades his work.
