I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that video had existed for quite a while before MS coopted it for this commercial.

Faked though, and the machine gun just prior to that looked fake too, or it was being aimed by somebody out of sight to the lower left.

Almost every one of those cars had rigged explosives. You can even see the explosives detonate before impact on the one where the cars are stacked up like dominoes.
And yeah, the rpg looked like a computer animation. And he would have to be a real lucky shot to hit the target, expecially with the machine gun, since he wasn't even aiming. Not to mention that machine guns and rpg's are illegal in Britain...

Yeah, and the beginning when he drove into that tree was all claymation.
I suspected the explosions were rigged. And I wondered how he got such a good shot on that RPG. It could have gone flying into some very bad places had he missed.

Yikes! My dad was in Xichang for the launch of this one. Much of the video that arrived in this country of the damage came from engineers on his team. The official Chinese death toll was accepted to be wildly underestimated/underreported. Sad.

They're Made of Meat. Based on a short story published in Omni quite a while back. There's been a Filk song based on that same short story for years. I'm gonna get the chords and lyrics to that song from someone else I know who performs it and add it to my repertoire, and I think I'll top it off with a "MEAT PRIDE!" t-shirt from Cafe Press.

After lurking in this thread for a while, I've finally found something (thanks Digg) worth a post... a complete re-edit of Stanley Kubrick’s original 2001: A Space Odyssey called 2001 Seconds. Here's the direct link to the 92MB AVI. Running time: ...uh...you'll figure it out Enjoy.

Wow, that pretty much covers it, and in just under three minutes.
And because nobody I sent it to could play it, here's the more accessible YouTube version.

You can upload the video to youtube and embed the video into a webpage. They do that on engadget all the time.

I wonder if Richard Simmons ever wanted to be a comedian.
