    THAT WAS SO AWESOME!!!!

    They should do this in NY....buh then some people would start takinq showers, pissing in the water, etc.

    They should do something like this tho with a auto clean fluid or with a platform that wouldn't touch d water or you pay for a metro card which would be a big boogie or surf board type structure to get around on x]

    I think this should be brought to the attention of NY MTA as a solution to the increased ridership problem we're facing.

    To add some excitement, I would like to request a "dark" tube option.

    I chuckled when he bought a banana on the fly, then I laughed out loud when he got stuck! (Been there, done that!) What fun!

    I'd be happy if I could build something like this for my house, let alone commuting and shopping.

    Great commercial.


    If this were real I can't help think of the upsides and downsides.


    Upsides:


    1. If I worked in the office I would get to see the guys strip down to their bathing suits.


    2. An awesome commute


    3. An easy way to return a wet library book


    4. Yet another way to shop that is awesome


    Downsides:


    1. Wedgies from hell


    2. Feeling like you got a communal douche with all female coworkers


    3. Being jelous of the guys that could just go naked and avoid wedgies and not have to worry about the douche part


    4. Worries about an obese cowoker bitching that they can't fit and the lawsuits following


    5. Getting stalled at the library spot like in the commercial and having a coworkers pile up and ram into you.


    Needless to say I still want this!


    Now, here is this slightly NSFW commercial for Scruffs, a UK clothing retailer for construction workers. You *wont* be disappointed!


    Its real and awesome!

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M and its Snowing Leopards!: I don't get it.

    It would be funnier if I left out the sarcasm sentence here, but too many people wouldn't assume the sarcasm.

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M and its Snowing Leopards!: I want to be a construction worker, in the UK, and I want to shop in Scruffs, and live in a fantasy world. And now I have to watch the first segment of Reservoir dogs, and dream.

    If it puts you directly in the house, then I'd use it while he was working and rob his ass.
