The art of selling Skype

Today's "buy our products" email from cut-price gizmo-peddlar Savastore is decorated with this natty ad for Skype handsets. Trouble is, when you click the link, here's what you get:
... which is not much use, except to a recovering retail-addict.
So while Savastore sorts itself out, I've been looking for more rich and strange ways in which advertisers are selling VoIP to an occasionally confused public.
On YouTube I found this iPhox TV ad, apparently starring a tribute act to Angelina Jolie. The chap who posted the clip seems impressed ("I received this hilarious clip from a friend. Girl is stunning hot!") but I haven't quite worked out what it's saying about VoIP. Got any thoughts?
