      Hmm, I'm being moderated a troll. That's not quite fair. The reality of Slashdot is that mirrors should be created of these web pages, so as to reduce the impact on the site owners, as well as increase the availability of the information contained in said pages.

  6. Faked Honda Commercial by joeware · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The one thing I had against the Honda Commericial is this: At one point, the tire going up the ramp bumps the next tire, appears to go back down the ramp, only to suddenly reverse direction and follow the other tire back up the ramp. The motion of all of the tires is a bit odd.

    The flame burns through the string which holds up the bottom of the poster.

    What did they start the flame with, the server thats currently burning into the ground?

    It wasn't real unless they have a different sort of gravity in Honda-land which allows tyres to accelerate when rolling uphill....
