I suspect, given the "Tt", that the "schoolgirls" in question were pseudo-lesbian Russian pop-duo Tatu. Impressively obscure ad. I'm not sure how forcing viewers to squint at the screen and run down the list of appropriately-named bands in their heads helps to attract a broad audience, but maybe I'm just kind of thick but I have to admit that the inclusion of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, et al. -- once I figured out who they were meant to be -- certainly got me interested.
