B-List

Have you seen that amazing ad for the Honda Accord Euro, where car
parts are used to create a domino effect? The 1 minute version is
often shown on SBS between programs. The complete version goes for
2 minutes.

85 different car parts were used, and 606 takes were needed to get
it right. Apparently the Yanks won't get to see it on TV because
the ad "doesn't say enough for U.S. viewers."  It wouldn't have
anytthing to do with the fact that the model is called the "Euro"?
