Personally, I would have gone for Scarlett Johansson, or Reiko Aylesworth, or Elisha Cuthbert or....heck all three of them at the same time....hmmm..urm, where was I - erm, yes, well done Virgin Media. :)

I assume she'll be the leading person in any TV adverts, newspaper adverts, poster campaigns....maybe she'll be at the launch party?

WOW! their really spending the bucks on this!! Good Good! Hate uma though but what the hey! Hopefully Virgin will begin to fight Sky for supremecy now! Anyone think this is personal between Branson and Murdoch???

Without a doubt. Its very personal. especially as Richard Branson had something to do with British Satellite Broadcasting before it merged with Sky

Uma is being paid well to promote Virgin Media - as in, $36 million!!!! :shocked:

From EarthTimes.Org: (http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/23001.html)

Quote:
Uma Thurman is the new mascot of Virgin Media after she signed a $36 million deal to promote the company. Thurman joins Kate Moss and Pamela Anderson in the list of beauties roped in by Virgin to promote its products.

.....Thurman will be extensively associated with NTL's £20 million campaign to rebrand itself as Virgin Media. The company will be offering "quadruple play" meaning that mobile phones and broadband as well as fixed-line phone and TV will be available from a single brand.
Hell, I'd promote it for £36,000! :p: .....hey Virgin - how about spending some of that cash on.....gee, I dunno - more HD content?!?? ;)

Will any of the adverts actually feature Uma 'in the flesh' or are all the adverts just featuring her voice? :)

Heh! Just seen the very sexy Uma Thurman advert on Channel 999!

She relaxing on a chair in a sexy pose and she says something like "Hi guys, do you know you can call my apartment in New York for the same price as a calling a friend over the road? My number is 43565........As if!" :p:

Why couldn't they have her talking about the services instead of these 2 jokers on now?? :p:

About bloody time Cable had some kick-ass adverts. I suspect that this wouldn't have happened under the (just) old NTL Telewest days.

Heh, I like the 'Uma does VOD' advert too, "Hi, I'm Uma. You can watch me all night whenever you want, you can play me, fast forward me, rewind me, you can even.............................................. .........pause me."

Finally we have Uma does Broadband (aka : Attack of the Uma Clones) "you can download me 2 times, 3, 4, 5, as many as you want."

Agree and said this over on DS. They remind me of ntl's Dave and the chavettes, as I used to call them. But the rest of ch999 is fine and the cartoons are very interesting considering most of us don't even have the virgin epg yet.

Those cartoons are growing on me.

Hell, even using the cartoon characters would have been 100x better than Dave and the chavettes :p:

Yes lets see more Uma. I'd rather have her doing all the commercials anyday. Chuck those two blokes off. 3 cheers for Uma.;)
