A new German ad for the Honda Jazz shows off the car's massive storage space by rotating and stacking a variety of blocky objects into the car amid familiar Tetris music and sound effects. Cute, but we can't help but feel the concept of car-as-Tetris-field was done better by The Simpsons years ago.

The last thing I would want to happen to my flat-panel HDTV to do is disappear when I put it in my car. :D

Meh, ad agencies have yet to have an original idea. They're constantly ripping shit off. Take that Mario/McDonalds ad lifted from that highschool talent show, for example. The only thing that surprises me about this time is how long it's taken them to do it.

Don't you know that they have a shrinking ray installed in every honda ? That's why they look so small on the outside, yet are so roomy on the inside: you are shrunk upon entry !!!
