Can we preemptively give out Darwin awards? We can?

What the hell is with this lately? Like all of a sudden the collective IQ of the world dropped to Phillip J Fry levels......wait.....does anyone see giant floating brains zapping things outside?

What a bunch of losers.
collegekid13 @ Jul 21st 2008 3:58PM

Top gear is possibly the best on tv. 8 on sunday, im always there waiting.
SuperSexyErik @ Jul 21st 2008 2:26PM
HA! No first for you !!
micrypt @ Jul 21st 2008 2:27PM
Awesome!!!
Joel @ Jul 21st 2008 2:27PM
Sure.. thats what they want you to believe!!
itsme @ Jul 21st 2008 2:28PM
Obviously the men in black got their first.
hiko36 @ Jul 22nd 2008 1:59AM
There, They're, Their... I dont think MIB comments on engadget...
From My Cube @ Jul 21st 2008 2:38PM
I miss they days when comments had thought and meaning....
first thing i thought when i saw it was that it looked like a prop from a 747
ddub @ Sep 3rd 2008 10:32PM
I think a lot of the comments have thought into it, as for meaning, maybe try a different internet, you might find it there.
P.S. When did they start putting props on 747's? Makes me glad I haven't been on a 747 lately.
wrabbit @ Jul 21st 2008 2:39PM
Seriously people, stop with the "FIRST!!" posts. It's not funny, makes you look like an ass, and is hardly an accomplishment.
Anamorphy @ Jul 21st 2008 2:48PM
FIRST!!!
(now it's funny)
By the way, it's not an ad, they're building another NY-London tunel. That was a real tunel, right? I saw real people on the other side.
icepop4who @ Jul 21st 2008 3:09PM
no point saying things that those feeble minds can't understand
Boarderwoot @ Jul 21st 2008 2:41PM
I kind of got excited by this ploy and searched for pictures of this car thinking the design would be so revolutionary it just might have come from outer space. Unfortunately I was greatly dissapointed by just another run of the mill luxury vehicle.
patsy @ Jul 21st 2008 6:38PM
Luxury?! The Vectra is Opel's bread and butter business, its Civic if you will.
Greg Thompson @ Jul 21st 2008 2:42PM
Try reading the whole story next time Darren.

Now if we could only get you to do this for nearly every other Engadget article, we'd be getting somewhere.
Flashpoint @ Jul 21st 2008 2:44PM
I believe...
Miguel Rios @ Jul 21st 2008 2:44PM
Why is this filed under Tablet PCs???
Anamorphy @ Jul 21st 2008 2:50PM
Giant floating brains. They're everywhere. Bualbugabulubulu bu.
Gilad @ Jul 21st 2008 2:46PM
UFO, SHMUFUO-bama is my slave

Any sign of a police box parked nearby? Might not be the only alien thing there...
Blaktornado @ Jul 22nd 2008 12:22PM
Doctor Who only goes to Cardiff, silly.
Or Cardiff that's made to look London.
helloUser @ Jul 21st 2008 2:53PM
Yeah, it also comes with an ipod for you and your sheep friends.
ethana2 @ Jul 21st 2008 2:55PM
Wow. They disguise their coverups as marketing.
Brilliant.
dubbbya @ Jul 21st 2008 2:55PM
Vauxhall is just taking the fall for it, not to mention the credit.
Beings of light appeared to me in my dreams, their souls were so pure they assumed the form of a blue/white cloud, and had no need for physical bodies.
All they said was the ufo will be real....that was 4 days ago in my sleep.
lagmastac @ Jul 21st 2008 2:58PM
Thats it, too many reposts and crappy posts (http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/18/emotional-robot-has-empathy-understands-your-frustration/). I'm switching to Giz.
Lowest Ranked @ Jul 21st 2008 3:30PM
Good riddance.
icepop4who @ Jul 21st 2008 2:59PM
It's actually an alien blender blade. It blends everything, including the new car.
Ignatius @ Jul 21st 2008 3:19PM
It's probably used to make soylent green.
Stevo @ Jul 21st 2008 3:03PM
747's don't have props.
Samboini @ Jul 21st 2008 3:14PM
Stevo I think he meant a Ni/Ti/Al superalloy Rolls-Royce Trent 700 thermal barrier coated turbine. Does that satisfy your planespotter lust?
Ignatius @ Jul 21st 2008 3:14PM
They have turbines, however.
Ignatius @ Jul 21st 2008 3:14PM
I think even Phillip J. Fry is smarter then these idiots.
Stevo @ Jul 21st 2008 3:45PM
lol... nice
ericdano @ Jul 21st 2008 3:50PM
Bloody Torchwood. Captain Jack is going to pay for this one. Where is the Doctor when you need him!
Phoenix @ Jul 21st 2008 5:40PM
Running around in the TARDIS as always. (I'd love to meet that man one day... ^_^)
Alex @ Jul 21st 2008 7:50PM
Trapped 1 second out of sync with the universe in the Medussa Cascade.
Decoy @ Jul 21st 2008 3:51PM
My CPU cooler is bigger.
zevdawg @ Jul 21st 2008 4:43PM
Do you use punch cards to input data as well?
DenverBob @ Jul 21st 2008 4:28PM
Hopefully "The Doctor" knows about this and can sort it. If not him, Downing Street had best call Torchwood.
AlphaTeam @ Jul 21st 2008 5:03PM
To make it real they should have gotten the government to issue a press blackout and when you take a picture have people yell at you to stop...
tripper @ Jul 21st 2008 5:53PM
And there's no blue Police Box in the background? And you call yourself Brits!
Thi mam(kris120890) @ Jul 21st 2008 9:37PM
Yes we do and Vauxhall is the australian arm of opel.
RossKTT @ Jul 22nd 2008 3:33AM
Vauxhall is the British arm, Holden the Australian and Opel European.
Crooked Style @ Jul 21st 2008 5:54PM
you are gay
