There was a commercial that I just loved. Now that you are familiar with the Zebra story you will get the gist.

It was a car commercial, Jeep I believe.
It showed Zebras, grazing peacefully until they saw this Jeep come along. All of a sudden they start running along with the Jeep. The film cuts to a lion sitting in the grass watching curiously (as lions do I understand) the Jeep go by.
They pan to an overhead shot and you see the lion on the right side of the screen still laying in the grass watching the Jeep go by.
The Jeep in the middle of the screen
And to the left in a row are the Zebras running along side the Jeep completely out of view of the lion.

In this fashion: Z'a are Zebras, J is Jeep, L is lion (clever of me I thought).

Z Z Z Z Z Z...J........L

They used the Jeep as a shield.

I loved that commercial and wished I could have recorded it.

You are the only one right now that has any clue why this is so cute.

Sorry folks. OT and pmessage material but you love me anyway I know.
