A couple of things-

McLaren site showing footage of the launch, plus a CG 3D model you can pan around, zoom in/out and even drive (in a fashion!). Some interesting parts/ideas that you can't pick out from the static shots. ;)

Muppets, who is going to be confused by that.

Dear Mr Ford,

I went and bought one of you're new F-150 trucks, shame it only came in red, and the price! $5,000,000 dollars was a bit more than i was expecting. On the trip home I noticed a few strange quirks, no indicators, no brake lights, infact no lights of any kind, and they exhaust noise is terrible.

Then we get to the load capacity...

etc...
etc...

Its bollocks, total bollocks.
