Ad break: DirecTV hang gliding advert, Visa Winter Olympics, the Guardian

Watch an advert for the US satellite TV service that takes a witty swipe at cable and a Winter Olympics-themed credit card ad

This week's collection of new commercials opens with a very funny US ad for DirecTV which shows what happens when a man unwisely takes on a new hobby and ends with a Winter Olympics themed advert for Visa which compares a ski jumper with an aviation pioneer. In between are a trio of excellent UK ads for Guinness, Schwartz and the Guardian.
