    Lol. I didn't see that one coming. This is how people deceive other people. I didn't know that the Top Gear guy was on Brainiac.

    Did anyone notice Hitler goose stepping past the camera ?....;)

    Karem, Richard Hammond no longer presents Brainiac. Last year he had a miraculous escape when a 300mph jet powered car he was driving for Top Gear, suffered a tyre blow out and resulting in a horrifying crash.

    Yes I heard this. It is great that he made it out of that accident. I am a fan of Top Gear and didn't know that Hamster was on Brainiac before.

    Back to the perception; this is what our government does. They increase the tax rates just after our national soccer team wins a game. Nobody understands what hit them.

    We watched something like this at a Pratt & Whitney training. Except they were passing a basketball and a gorilla waked through, only about 20% of the poeple saw the gorilla. The point was that when people get too focused on something they forget about other things happening around them. It is not good to have people thinking about not work releated things in a dangerous work enviroment or poeple get hurt. Now just imagine that in a rush hour driving context, that means that only 20% of the people around you are aware of what is going ohn outside of their driving area, ie right in front and to the sides. Scary.

    I admit, I didn't see the "bee" until she was almost out of the picture. I did notice that he changed clothes.
    Basic miss-direction (the format of many jokes), and the root of 3-card Monty/Gypsies, and other street hustlers/Politicians ? You're right Kerem !
    Another version of the "Red-Herring", "Pink-Elephant".
    The recent basics of politics, try to keep you busy with nonsense while pulling the "rug" out from under you. Debate useless/insignificant (either way, so what) topics, (like that's work/worthwhile) in a blatant effort to avoid topics of deep concern/meaning.
    Sad for us to be fooled (or for them to think we can be fooled) by cheap "Carnival" tricks.
    Advertisement/Media attention does not equate seriousness to anyone but "idiots".
    Am surprised Hillarity has not embraced this method for her campaign, or has she given a straight answer that I'm not aware of yet ?:confused::p::D:
