The Internet Bridges Gaps?

I don't usually post links, but saw this advertisement on a TV programme the other day, and loved it. It is an Israeli advertisement for the internet.
My reaction was that is was so true, and such a poignant advertisement. However, I understand it has caused a lot of controversy because of the stereotypical depiction of Iran and the fact it was made by an Israeli company.
What do you think?

But the advert was saying that whatever your views (!!!) when you talk one to one on the internet these bridges can be gapped - maybe not in YOUR case hehehe!

, but I guess this is an interesting ad. Yeah, the location strikes with fundamentalism like hell. You can only see men there, all women are covered up and hidden, weirdly enough it looks like a happy place though :-S
