So, to sum up this story, this woman goes to a burger king in san clemente, she orders a western bacon cheeseburger. However the staff for some reason or another doesn’t make it correctly. She goes through this like 5 times. She wiggs out and calls the police, below is the mp3 recorded.
Be warned this is a glimpse of the downturn of america, her kids, traffic, and the buger make this woman go balistic and call the police to enforce hamburger making practices!!!

Okay, so I am not really into this sort of thing. I am just in shock / awe that this sort of thing got through corporate filters and is actually on a big corporate website, i mean good god. I feel bad for watching it, alone in my living room right now. And I have seen some VERY bad stuff in my day. I mean, it’s not everyday you see a beautiful women in a leather bodysuit that is whipping / spanking / teasing on a big corporate website.
Is this like a canada thing? I mean I couldn’t see anything like this happening in the US, maybe france. I guess canada is full of french people. There that explains it, that makes it okay. Okay, so enjoy, or not, depending on your perversion.

So, the new evo, planned to be released in 2007 as an ‘08 model year. Major updates include a new 2.0L turbo 4, an updated awd system…. and, are you ready for this? a manumatic paddle shifting gearbox! When I read this my stomach churnned. This could be a killing blow to a rally legacy, or it could be the saving grace. I sure hope that this paddle gearbox is everything they hype, but somehow i doubt it will be up to par.
In any event some clever germans caught the prototype looping the ring while tuning. Pics in the link below.
Edmunds has a story detailing how the Ferrari F430 does not meet all US crash saftey requirements and is under a pannel now to ban all cars produced after Sept 1,2006. According to the NHTSA, the F430 provides inadequate crash protection for small children and some women. Who in their right mind would have carseats in their ferrari? If the car does indeed get banned it would be a big blow to ferrari, who is selling as many of the fabulous f430’s as it van build. Furthermore ferrari doesn’t have a model-line update slated for the f430 until 2008, ouch.

so, these adventure-junkies have constructed what they call a “catamaran”, but is essentially two giant wooden skis under a tent. This thing is powered by giant drag-parachutes that pull it across the tundra, faster so even than modern means. They have an excuse for this madness, they are picking up ice-core samples along their trans-antarctic journey, which they have been on for over two months. they have made several stops along the way at russian and us camps to pick up supplies and drop off ice core samples.
They have also set a speed record by traveling 194 miles in one day. A record previously held by a mechanically led 1997 adventure. Whoa, all in a tent retrofitted with giant kites!
It is long and historic, pre-programmed into all males. Fast cars and women. Everyone knows this, car marketeers included. To help encourage sales, car makers will hire “product specialists” to tell people about the cars. Indeed, entranced by a woman can make you do silly things, like purchase a $200,000 car - or make the mistake of purchasing the shampoo treatment on your seats at a gas station on a cross country trip.
Nonetheless I would of loved to be at the ferrari booth pictured, go up to the model and ask her “how much”. hahah, i wonder how many times she heard that. In any event, it’s no secret, sex sells….
for a lot.
i know what you’r thinking:
“why in the world is an xbox360 here?”
well, let me first explain that i don’t own an xbox360, nor an xbox nor a playstation, i have a (lousy) tv, and don’t pay for cable service and just mess around in blockbuster. that said let me also say that i hate the media hype around the xbox and related gaming systems, it just doesn’t jive my style.
HOWEVER this is a great commercial. too bad it was banned =(. This kind of gleefull comical commercials should be more popular. i love it.

This commercial is being run in europe for the new RS4, sweet ride. I want one, too bad its more than an m3, but not quite as good. If i were in the market i think i would hold out for the new m3. assuming they reshape it to make it look not-ugly, but seeing as they have a not-so-great base chassis to start with im not sure they will be able to pull it together. but something tells me that simply the addition of the //M badge will change my mind, oh well.
Anyways, the commercial - it’s oh so creepy, they did a good job.
This video (hosted here) happens to be fantastic, it is an old 1985 commercial that was released in Japan for the Isuzu Gemini. The precision driving they perform is wonderful, better perhaps than the old school saab commercials we are so used to seeing.
I have had unconfirmed reports from reliable sources (teh intarnet) that this is totally genuine and there has been no computer trickery. I tend to believe these sorts of things as it brings a smile to my face in this astonishing feat. regardless of the level of trickery it is pretty neat.
