The man, Cheng Hongwei, told Sina iPophe thought of making an ad for his pantyhoses over the weekend.

He wasn't planning to post the video online, just to circulate via messaging to his clients. So he figured he'd whip up something to show off the quality, and got his daughter to film it with a phone.
