Foster's friends promotes fitness ("Jump rope"/Get Animated)

Personally, I'm a fan of jumping rope (it's easy enough for a five-year-old girl yet hardcore enough for heavyweight boxers), and I just found this short TV commercial on the CN Upfront site:

You have to navigate through "Get Animated" first and then click on "Jump Rope". It features the Foster's main imaginary characters and real-life schoolchildren playing double-dutch (Bloo is singing rhymes, Coco lays an egg, Ed is being Ed, and Wilt getting tangled, since he's so tall).

Sorry if this is old or mentioned here already, I did a superficial search and didn't find anything related.

I think we may have had a thread on the old board, but that's it I believe.

The "Get Animated" tour hit my town a couple years ago and I meant to go but I ended up not being able to make it. I did however find a great ad online involving Batman - it showed him being too lazy to go out and save Gotham, and let that be a lesson to all you kids...Get Animated!! It was really funny. (That's why like this, too.)

Yeah, this is pretty cool. I remember doing "Jump-a-Thons" in elementary school, and we learned how to do a whole lot of cool tricks. They were fun to do, and fun to show off to friends, but now days at looking back at it, I think it would be awfully cheesy, worthy of mocking and poking fun at for the rest of all time.

But jumping rope is indeed good exersise. Great cardiac work out, and great for the leg and even abdomenal muscles. I think it's excellent CN is promoting this!

Jump rope is cool.
