[MacDV] Re: OT: must see TV!

[Matthew Guemple]

This bit is interesting hmmm...
"The idea for the advert derived partly from the old children's game  
Mouse Trap, and from the wacky engineering of Caractacus Potts's  
breakfast-making machine in the Sixties film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. "

So much for credit where credit is due... or due diligence. In light of  
this. "This is a direct take from some German (Swiss?) artists whose  
original work "Der Lauf der Dinge" (from the 80s I believe)"
