I keep seeing the commercial when I go to the movies. Has anyone else
seen the Kia Soul hamster commercial? It feature some damn good CG of
hamsters hip hopping and plugging the car as oppsosed to driving a
toster, cardboard box or industrial washing machine.

They could have used actual humans yet someone thought anthropomorphic
animals would tell and sell better. Seems furry is still well embedded
in the human psyche.

Skytech pondered the following:

Its a great commercial. Made even better by the excellent choice of music:

FATBOY SLIM'S

"Weapon Of Choice"

Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice
Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice

Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice
Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice

Listen to the sound of my voice
You can check it all out, it's the weapon of choice

Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice
It's the new weapon, weapon of choice

[2x Chorus:]
You can go with this,
Or you can go with that,
You can go with this,
Or you can go with that,
You can go with this,
Or you can go with that,
Or you can throw with (us) [only the 1st time]

Walk without rhythm
it won't attrack the worm

Walk without rhythm
and it won't attrack the worm

Walk without rhythm
and it won't attrack the worm

If you walk without rhythm
ah, you never learn

Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice
Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice

Don't be shocked by the tone of my voice
Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice

Be careful, we don't know them
Be careful, we don't know them
Be careful, we don't know them

[2x Chorus]

Organically grown, through the hemisphere I roam
Too big love to the angels of light
Yeah, and my girl

She just don't understand
is gone beyond being a man

As I drift off into the night, I'm in flight
She's a Boy scout no doubt
but I'm going to hold my cool,
because of easy rules

Yeah, so move on baby, yeah

Halfway between the gutter and the stars, yeah
Halfway between the gutter and the stars, yeah

[2x Chorus]

That's what that's from? I didn't even recognize it with all the hip-hop
mixed in. Now all we need is Hamster Walken.

Christopher Walken was in the MTV video when it came out in 2000...who
knew he could dance?

I saw that horrible movie when I was a kid. It was called "Dune".

Anyone who's ever seen "Pennies From Heaven"?

And since nobody else has posted the commercial yet:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfJnqbudMzs

And "Weapon of Choice" for comparison:

and break compatibility with my downloading software.

Really? I fairly recently got a new computer which ment going from XP
to 7 too.
My access to Youtube went seamlessly and is cleaner and faster. Real
PlayerSP
was included so I can download videos. I purchased the full RP and now
I can
put the videos on my PSP.

Maybe you need to upgrade your software or replace it with new
software that
handles Youtube. It's not Youtube's fault.

BTW, the High Def version of Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me
looks
great on my PSP!!

I know what you mean. I finally get affordable cable internet so I can
actually see youtube and now vevo is slowly replacing all the decent
music videos with "approved" versions that are playing in fits and
starts like I'm on dial-up again.
