Ned Kelly, the iconic Australian outlaw, is given a reprieve from pain and persecution in a TV ad for Nurofen being aired in Australia. The spot shows Kelly fighting it out with the police at Glenrowan Hotel, wearing his armour and helmet and trying to deal with a serious tension headache. All is solved, however, with the discovery of a packet of Nurofen. The ending provides a rewrite of Australian history.
