Crash Different

Having a basic understanding of marketing forces me to be a cynical consumer. When I see a poster in a bookstore, I wonder how much someone paid for that.

Reservation because I know I’m supposed to find this video funny and then pass it on to my friends, and hey, maybe the guy who made it will become famous and then we’ll all want his desktop services. Ok, I’ve bought the ticket. Enjoy the ride.
