Solar-Powered Race Cars

What? You don't think a solar-powered car could go fast enough to race? They might not be ready for the Indy 500 yet, but engineering departments at various universities around the world are working on solar cars that will hold their own and cost nothing in gasoline. Shown here is the Tokai Challenger, built by Tokai University students in collaboration with Japanese automotive companies. It won the Australian World Solar Challenge, a 1,877-mile race, twice. It's just one of a dozen solar race cars you'll learn about at Tech Graffiti. Link

I just discovered the original rant last month (never saw the movie). This is a high-larious parody. It should win some kind of an award itself. Thanks.

You have to give Alec credit. With that one short scene he absolutely steals the movie from some of Hollywood's best actors. Ask anyone what they remember from Glengarry. "Second prize... a set of steak knives."

A parody of a parody? Maybe an homage to a classic parody. The advice in Glen(garry, Ross) is as useful as The Prince's advice to the 'toons.

Let's face it, papers are dead because of the decision making publishers. 'Toons are dying within the papers for the same reason. They are not really interested in readers. They are interested in advertisers and not getting complaints.

Fear does the opposite of motivate and therein lies the core of the parody.
