- Synopsis
- Television advertisement for ING Financial Services. "The commercial opens with a long shot of a young white woman sitting on a bench in the park with ING on it as a young Asian man comes up to her and asks : "Excuse me, what is that?", She answers him in a friendly manner, "ING? They’re a fresh-thinking financial services company..."The young man responds "Actually I know what ING is, but what’s that?". He points to a man, seen only by the back of his head on a bench. Cut to shot of woman turning her head to look, then cut to Shakespeare talking to a squirrel, saying "Come on, my friend, Come, come". The woman deadpans, "That’s Shakespeare in the park"..."
