Robot car ads

A while back, I sent out a link to a car commercial featuring a Transformer-like dancing Citroen. For those of you who may not have seen that mail, here is that link again (Yahoo.uk).

An excellent parody video has been released (scroll down for the link to the video). Although the parody was a short-term evening-and-weekend project--as opposed to the original's slick, professional animation and production values--the parody is effective, funny, and surprisingly well-made. Even Citroen was amused...

I highly recommend right-clicking on the links and saving them as files for smoothest playback, especially if you are on dial-up. WinAmp (free) works better than Windows Media Player (WMP) for playback, as some versions of WMP have a bug that horizontally "squishes" the first video somewhat. VLC also works well for this under both Windows and Linux.

The parody stands alone, but it's funnier if you have seen the original. Enjoy!
