Wonder where the budget came from for that rather silly, if not misleading, verging on pathetic, little video.

I mean, I like a laugh as much as the next guy but, I was struggling to see the humour or get the point.

Care to enlighten me anyone, or is it simply the obvious staring me straight in the face.

Good grief, and some of you folks in Europe accuse us of not having a sense of humor and not appreciating irony.

I suppose that it’s only funny in Europe if is something anti-USA or Bush?

It is just a little funny video created by someone who may have had too much time on his or her hands. It is NOT some kind of ultra-right wing, Boeing, Bush, Pentagon, CIA, DEA, ATF, FAA, Seattle Washington Chamber of Commerce, Boy and Girl Scouts of America, anti-French, anti-Airbus conspiracy.

It just a funny little video, that’s all, no more or no less.

And as ATC watcher pointed out the same style of humor appeared when Boeing introduced the original 74. The only difference between now and then is the Internet.

con-pilot agreed 100%.

747FOCAL just a couple of things:
-If you can't handle humor, don't play with it. My post was just that: humor.
-Xenophobic remarks are bad for your image (and health).
-When you feel the urge to attack somebody, call the bull by its name. Feel free to PM me, or report me to a Mod, but quit those undirected and cowardly attacks.

GearDown&Locked,

It would appear that I made a joke and you have now made a threat. I know which one of those is more hazardous to YOUR health.

I have some other videos that I will be posting soon that are even better.

Just a gentle reminder, girls - this is a nice friendly little forum for 'spectators' of aviation, and the boxing ring is in a place called 'Jet Blast'. Seats are available there.

I made the mistake of not downloading/saving the video first time around and now the website is down. Does anyone have another link please?

EDIT: Video had to be taken down due to too much site traffic. Due back 1 Feb.
