Discovery Channel has a new "The world is so Awesome" commercial and
apparently Optimus thinks so too. Check it out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0jZzBEKIMc (it's about half way through).

Seeing as how the next cartoon is coming out on a "Discovery" channel, I
hope this isn't a foreshadowing.

Anyone else get "Your video will start in 29 seconds" and an ad before
it?

I would encourage everyone to just close the window or hit the back
button when you get crap like that, and not watch the ad. Google is
very metrics driven, and if they see that there is a large drop-off
for a given type of ad, they will eventually discontinue it.

Gustavo!, who is probably in some kind of unfortunate experiment.

I wonder if that's part of the ad or if some industrious fan threw that
in there?

It's from Discovery's YouTube page, so I'm assuming it's their doing.

I'm curious to see what myth Adam and Jamie are going after next, unless
Adam finally pushed him over the edge. :)

I has the Dis-pleasure of seeing this on u-tube a few days ago. I

horrid on so many levels.

Catchy, even though it's reused footage from the 2007 film. I always
liked those Discovery commercials anyway.

Can't compare to the Transformers "Energon-O" commercials on Youtube.

Those were hilarious ... although I wish the profanity had been toned
down a bit.

Wouldn't know it was American if it weren't for the F-bombs.

Still, a British version might have been worse. Prime alternating
between saying "Bollocks" and "Bugger" might be more off-putting.

It's real - it's been on TeeVee.

Adam tested the myth that Jamie's white shirts are immune to getting
dirty. They're not. Jamie was not amused. :-)

Optimus Prime might not be able to, but Optimus _Primal_ can. Which
means UT Prime probably can, too.
