Snowblower for James Bond - Humor

What you are about to see doesn't exist.

The marketing department has suffered cabin fever and has gone rogue.

Communications have broken down between departments. Document shredding begins.

The sales department is not sure they should deny or confirm its existence.

Confusion surrounds who was supposed to order bottled water

The local dealers haven't seen one or want one, they have no space in showroom among the lawn equipment.

The repair shops reports no failures or safety recalls. "We're not making money here!" cited a disgrunted technician

The creator of the iPad 2 did NOT have any involvement in this product, unless it is available in black or white, and can generate $$$

through iTunes.

Who else would launch an unprecedented aggressive media campaign for snowblowers?

In the Spring season?

One man and ONLY one man dares to endure frigid blizzard conditions, somewhere on a frozen lake, against insurmountable odds....

1 inch of white fluffy snow

The timing is perfect for that part of the world.

There's like 2" of snow on the ground. It would have looked a bit more capable if they demo'd it in 6" - 8" of snow. Got to wonder who's in charge????

Toro Wheel Horse 522xi GT, Honda HS928TA, Honda HS621AS, Honda HS520A, Toro CCR3000 (work in progress), Honda HS624WA (sold 08/23/2010), Stihl BR550 Backpack Blower, Stihl MS250, McCulloch MS1635, Honda EM6500SX Generator

The question should be, is anybody in charge? The product isn't even on their website.

My two-stage cleans to the pavement better than that unit was doing.

I like the tracked blower on the video that automatically plays after the first one. The tracked unit also is not shown on the website.

I think those models are probably sold somewhere in the world, but not in North America - prolly when you click on the link, it takes you to the website for whatever country that your IP address comes from.

I mean really??????

Who in their right mind would make a snow thrower commercial showing off their product with no snow?

If you ever didn't want a products, that's it.

I think it was showcasing the winter boots and the nice console on the snowblower. That's the only thing that differentiates it from its cousin, the Poulan Pro 621.

At least the Poulan Pro is available.

I like that tracked snowblower too. I won't hold my breath that it will be sold in the US though.

I don't know which was funnier...your lead-in or the actual video. In any case I got a good laugh out of it, thanks.

Of course my lead in was funnier. :)

I hope "the company" redo the video with real snow to show off its performance. 200cc engine with just 1 inch of snow is hardly any workout for that machine, or any machine.
