Advocacy & Safety - Anyone else see the Kaiser advert?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
There's a highly compressed imagery advertisement for Kaiser Permanente (HMO group in some states). It shows rapid-fire images of an idealized future (e.g. cure of obesity). The last image shows a six-lane freeway (3 each way) completely occupied by bycyclists! A lot like a moving version of that poster that pops up in these forums. Very cool, but brief.
Edit --
Saw it again. Shows (from memory)
Man reading newspaper with article "Obesity Remembered"
Drive in offering "Mini-Size" menu
Vending machine with fruit
6 Lanes of bikers

Where might one see that ad?

Yeah, loved it... that that was so cool. I missed the very beginning of the one I saw, but got the point and really loved the bike freeway part!

We were watching TV the other day and saw the commercial go by quickly. I wasn't sure of what it was, so I asked my husband (who had the remote) to rewind. When he paused the commercial at all the bicycles on the freeway, I exclaimed, "Yes, Yes!!"
I love Kaiser Permanente's vision of the future.

Haven't seen it yet, but it makes me glad I'm a Kaiser member. I get great healthcare, they helped me stop smoking, and delivered 2 of my kids. Now if they would only put in a bike rack outside. ;)
