Backwards diabetes ad

I have this thing I do whenever I'm talking to someone and I mess up the words or I just want to repeat what I said for clarification: I pretend like I'm hitting rewind on a tape player, talk backwards really fast, and then repeat what I just said. This amuses me. Anyway, my knack for fake backwards talking has got nothing on the man in this diabetes commercial, who actually does talk backwards so that when the film is ran in reverse, you can actually understand what he's saying (though the subtitles do help). Check out the commercial below, and below that, the footage of him doing his crazy backwards speech. The commercial was created for the Utah Department of Health.
