The video
Computer consulting company EDS did a great video on herding cats as a Superbowl commercial. Managing programmers is of course an exercise akin to cat-herding, inherently difficult. Guys on horseback, dressed as if for a Marlborough commercial, open range country, lots of felines. This should be in external links.
Ideally, the whole series of EDS ads would get its own article linked from here. The cat herding one is most famous, but others were also brilliant. One had a gang of riveters and such changing aluminum panels on an aircraft in flight, as a metaphor for upgrading software systems without stopping business.
