Jump,” featuring the furry friendly Gaspar, is an attempt by Dentsu Canada to push Vespa out of the “pseudo-bike” realm and into … well … hrm.

Come on, Dentsu. Can’t you make Vespa sexy without inviting a comparison to Blades of Glory? Oh, and the whole “Vespa: Built for love!” thing doesn’t make it any easier for Vespa owners to scoot proudly down the driveway with their chins up. Well, unless they’re in Europe.

From experience we can admit owning a Vespa is fucking awesome, except for those awkward instances when some 4×4 owner from way-back-when calls and goes, “Yeah. I think I saw you the other day. You were on some kind of scooter thing and I didn’t want to stop and say hi because I thought you might get hit.”

I stayed with my daughter and her family for what I thought would be two weeks after my knee surgery, and by week three I noticed she had stopped making eye contact with me at breakfast — the silence taught me more about boundaries than any conversation ever could
