The Simpsons Personified by SummerSeventySix
UK gossip site Holy Moly and now YouTube are showing a sneaky copy of a commercial where the famous intro to The Simpsons is recreated with real-life actors. Put together for British-satellite broadcaster Sky, the live-action version apparently cost a fortune. It works very well and has a slight British flavour. You can see it here.

Coin Dominoes Video
Whether it's the beauty of snaking lines or the satisfying delight of watching a chain reaction, everyone loves a domino rally.

A makeshift pitch is comprised of a small plastic goal and moth ball looking ball placed on the urinal's splash guard and is a component of the advert...
