Draftfcb has launched some new ads for Qwest that tout the company's high-speed Internet service as both cheap and great for data protection. (Those two message are widely kept separate, as "cheap data protection" doesn't sound reassuring.)

The actress gives the best performance so far this year by someone pretending to stick his or her arm inside a cow.
