about this Honda advertisement, viewable if you have Flash6. “Yes, everything in the ad did happen as shown. There was no computer generation involved.” As this Slate commentary points out, what I’m really doing by blinking to this is helping Honda spread its message ‘virally’ far more efficiently than if it were just a television commercial. It sticks in my craw but, just this once, I’ll tell you this is worth viewing. I won’t make a habit of it.
