Well, I guess since no one else brought this up, I have to. Did anyone get the Griot`s email this morning about their revolutionary new products?

You can get the mobile detailers seat at Harbor Fright for a lot less. That aero sprayer looks kind of cool.

One of the boys on the sister site posted a YouTube link -

My favorite part was "None of these features can be verified, but we wrote them in the marketing copy. So they are obviously true as our words are gospel."

I got it. I had no idea such technology exists! My car will be perfectly protected from now on!

Wait, did you mean the April Fools video? From wannafbody’s post maybe I missed something.

It really seemed like they were trying to emulate the Turbo Encabulator script (if you haven`t seen that you should, there are a number of versions, I`ll link a couple of them below). And is that the way Nick does his hair now, or was he just doing the Mort from Bazooka Joe look for today?

The "Unobtanium" additive? OK, so it IS an April Fool`s joke.
GG`s theatrical portrayal about car-care companies firing their research-and-development chemists is, well, both satirical and true at the same time.
Hope Griot`s got permission and a release from 20th Century Fox to use both the Avatar image and the "Unobtainum" reference in this commercial parody video "joke". Otherwise the "joke" might not be that funny! (April Fool on you, Griot`s Garage!)
By the way, April 1st is a "holiday" specifically for all atheist. How do I know this? It`s in the Bible!
" A fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Psalms 14:1 `Nough said!
