Entertaining mini-documentary about a tube line that never existed.
The style reminds me a little of @CharltonBrooker, and it's a charming little tale of urban planning gone wrong.

I saw the following video linked to over at WoS, and well. I can see how for some it would be effective, and if it triggers the desired response from you, then more power to you. I'm glad. But, erm, I watched it without noticing what it was intended for, until afterwards, and I had a different perception of events.
Insane controlling father forces loyal wife and daughter who is dressed up in sinister fashion as some kind of fairy, with no trousers or skirt on, to sit in front of him and smile. They sit and grin fearfully at him, shifting uncomfortably under the weight of his wicked stare, whilst he sits and pretends he's driving his car. Of course, since the ban he isn't allowed to drive anymore. Or drink.
Man turns and looks insanely at nothing, before turning around to look at his family. His daughter and he make eye-contact. Suddenly really seeing her for the first time, he goes into epic shock as the guilt of his abusive behaviour finally washed over him. She also responds with shock, and visible fear, in case he is about to go to 'the bad place' again. Is the belt coming off?
He shrinks into himself, suddenly overcome with shock, grief. That's his daughter, he realizes. She runs over to him, still half-naked, to wrap her arms around him and plead no, not tonight, please. His wife runs over and gently grabs him around the shoulder, trying to stop him without angering him.
Together they hold onto him, fearful of another one of his outbursts. But it's... alright. He's had a moment of clarity. As he comes down from his shock, he accidentally kicks a plastic tub full of all the leftover sequins and sparkly bits from when his wife made the fairy costume for their daughter.
They all smile, in relief, a family for perhaps the first time. Maybe it's all gonna be okay now. Maybe the little girl can finally have the other half of her fairy costume. But that's okay. It can be cleaned up. The man sits back in relief, feeling the loving arms of his wife and daughter around him, and for the first time in years, doesn't want a drink.
It's powerful stuff, sure. But I honestly thought it was an anti-abuse ad, until afterwards (here, of course, you can see the title before you even press play). I'm not saying 'Ha-ha, abuse is funny'. I'm saying that I don't understand the advert. Always drive with your family sitting on the bonnet so they can climb in and fasten your seat belt if you forget? Never drive straight at your family? Wear shoes when driving?

Re: Seatbelt advert
Surely the Gov should just put this on the tellybox instead...
As for seatbelt ads in general - do people really still not wear seatbelts? I don't know anyone who doesn't. I would feel really quite odd being in a car without having a seatbelt on, it's automatic. I don't think that advert CUS has shown is going to have much effect. It's not quickly memorable enough to make anyone belt up.

I have just now got aroudn to watching that video of Ace's. I make WAY more sense than that mostly! My favourite bit of that video was the intro to Tom Sawyer by Rush suddenly kicking in as Picard started walking to the front. Most amusing.

You can't gobble an arab with your seatbelt on though. 
People may want to skip to 1:30 for when the fun really starts, unless you like seeing just how fast Irish rally drivers are, in which case just watch from the start.
Bear in mind that they're driving in this:
which is a 1600cc Vauxhall Nova
And the other car is something like this:
Which is an all-wheel-drive 2 litre turbo.
I'm personally not sure which is more impressive to me- how fast the Nova driver is, or how the co-driver can get out all that and still read out the pace notes!

I haven't watched this in a while. CONTRAINDICATIONS: DO NOT WATCH IF
you fear clowns,
you value your sanity,
you are anywhere near children or the elderly,
you are now, or are suffering the aftereffects of being, drunk,
off your tits on anything else.
This video may cause impotence, hair loss, gibbering madness and face-melting.
Also: for nerds who, like me, love old videogames. The Cubex Collective record longplays of old games for your delight, delectation and nostalgia. And if you couldn't be arsed to finish them yourself.

Vector-graphic nightmare extravaganza 'E-Pro' from Beck:
Top stuff. Took me ages to find as I saw it, muted and on a shi-TV , in a student bar about four years ago and guessed that it must be Beck. Indeed most of his videos on there are pretty good.

Gumph. I hate double-posting but know I'd forget otherwise*. Triggered by another thread here's The Bentley Brother's superb spoof of Resi 4:
Damn that's a fine frame to choose. Their other stuff varies from random spoofs to bizarre self-referential 'behind the scenes' mockumentaries for sequels that never got made.
*I know I could write it down somewhere or message myself or somesuch but that's CHEATING.

KEEP. WATCHING.
Is there nothing that man cannot do? I'm still surprised by Klatrymadon's non-response to the music to the McRoll.

Sorry, only just saw it! Last night I thought the Dolph vid marked the outer boundary of human achievement, but it's definitely this one. Holy shit.
(I actually don't really play the Touhou games, though!)
