Thanks for the C.I.A. video, interesting. I've seen that Canon commercial and wondered...what does that burning tire supposed to signify?

It doesn't signify anything. The scene is of some guy on a skateboard taking a video of the burning tire while going down a hill. All of the scenes are of people doing stupid things to get a photo with their Canon Rebel.

I suppose I'm anal retentive, but I've seen that ad and looked down to the bottom of the hill and saw a large group of houses. The tire would roll right into them. What a stupid suggestion! While probably being CGI, you know some idiot will try it. Ever try to put out a burning tire?

That video gives Canon's marketing people a black eye.

Forget significance. If some moron tries this on their own, they're going to get locked up.

This belongs on the next "Jackass" sequel.
