Jodee Berry of Panama City, Fla., sits with her toy Yoda at her lawyer’s office Wednesday. Berry, a former Hooters waitress, has sued the restaurant where she worked saying she was promised a new Toyota for winning a beer sales contest in April. Berry, 26, believed that she had won a new car, but she was blindfolded, led to a parking lot and presented a toy Yoda, the little green guy from Star Wars.

I don’t know if people would get offended by this advertisement. Insurance advertisements are crap all the time. They don’t tell you anything, just a bunch of few good moments.
Thai Life Insurance - My Son
This insurance advertisement, however, hits the spot. And the truck. Quite depressing I guess.
Husband is called at work by a friend. They start the video cam and then find the best man with his wife at home. Best Mans car cops a pounding.
You know, I’m pretty amazed that the windscreen didn’t crack. He hit it so hard!
Hahaa! It’s a funny skit. Take a look at how Obi Wan Kenobi buys a used car!

Creative advertising put dripping paint on the walls of buildings. But wait, are the cars below it part of the ad?
Singapore will host its debut Formula One Grand Prix on a street circuit next year and the race may be the first held at night, officials announced on Friday. We never hosted F1 before, I didn’t even know we had a racing track. We have go-karts track somewhere though, doubt they’re using that.
Singapore to host F1 Grand Prix next year
SINGAPORE : Singapore will host its debut Formula One Grand Prix on a street circuit next year and the race may be the first held at night, officials announced on Friday.
The Republic will organise the first of five Grand Prix in either September or early October 2008, with an option to extend to 2017, Trade and Industry Minister S. Iswaran told a briefing.
Iswaran said hosting an F1 race will bring Singapore closer to its ambition of becoming a “vibrant, global city,” adding that the race is estimated to generate about S$100 million (US$66 million) a year in incremental receipts.
The regional financial centre with a somewhat staid reputation is set to open its first integrated resort being built by Las Vegas Sands in 2009.
Iswaran said the Grand Prix, around the downtown Marina Bay district, could “potentially” be held at night if safety can be assured.
…Singapore Tourism Board had evaluated the event and deemed it “worthy” of the government’s support. (more…)
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I passed the basic theory test for cars! Yay! I’m moving forward to advance theory where I learn all the car crap such as clutch, handbrakes and windscreen wipers. I was thinking the other day - how does people in the past learn how to drive the first batch of car? Surely they don’t get taught and forced to pass some advance theory test. I was thinking more towards the idea where they had a printed manual and they just read like crazy and followed the instructions, much like a computer manual you know.
I was aiming for at least an automatic car licence. Honestly, I had no idea why I’m getting a driving licence, it’s good to have but our family doesn’t own a car. Even if I get a licence all I can do is to show off to my friends.
Till now, I’m still thinking if an automatic licence is enough already. I really don’t want to know about all the clutch and the gears and stuff. I just want to get from Point A to B. Eventually if I were to buy a car, I am most likely to go buy an automatic too.
Anybody with automatic car license? The rest of my friends seemed to have taken manual car license.
