    "In fact this slashdot page is the only thing that told me it was a honda advert."

    That's the point! This Slashdot page just did some of Honda's marketing for them. The ad is such that at least a fair number of people will discuss it and even if you don't remember which car manufacturer it was, you'll be reminded by someone else.

    The ad is really very brilliant. Great entertinament, but also a very effective way to spread the brand image.

    And all of these pay homage to the old Rube Goldberg cartoons from the early 20th century.
