Honda’s Endless Ad, Stephen Hawking Teams with Monty Python and More Video Views

This is something new: A personalized commercial that never ends! (It’s from mcgarrybowen London.) That’s a Honda CR-V traveling in an endless loop. (Note the mileage counter in the upper left hand corner. Also note the relaxing whooshing on the audio track. It’s very soothing if left on in the background while working at one’s computer.) This spot runs continuously on Honda's YouTube channel and it does something involving viewers’ computers that allows it to include information (time, weather, etc.) about their environments. It’s an amazing and mesmerizing thing for people to watch, even if it seems to be infringing their personal freedom. (Oh, wait. That last line is from a classic Monty Python bit. Here on Planet Ed the Pythons rule. See the next video.)
