Has anyone else seen the XBox360 commercial with a bunch of people doing some amazing jump-roping? I was impressed, I happened to be watching it with my mom once and even she said wow.

But what the hell does jump-roping have to do with the XBox360?????? I don't get it!!! Can someone explain it to me? My mom said wow but she had no understanding that it was about a new videogame console being released in a week. Plus I don't think Microsoft is selling to me mum...
