If you've seen it you know it is pretty good. I won't spoil it for you
otherwise.

.... when the Magnum's driver stops, gets out, looks around the screen --
then pulls the letterbox bars off the screen and stows them inside the
Magnum.
Videophiles would certainly appreciate the joke.

I believe the letterbox bars contained some type of disclaimer or something.
I found it funny.

somebody parallel parking and it would still have a disclaimer that says
"professional parker on closed parking space. Do not attempt"

I agree... I was watching an ad for some car (can't remember which one) that
was just driving calmly around downtown and it had a "professional driver /
closed course" disclaimer. I mean really, are you just supposed to have
your new car towed to your driveway and leave it there?

Not only that, it is a nice car in person as well. I like the newer
technologies added like snaking the v-8 a v-4 at cruising speeds to
improve gas mileage. My only dislike is the same I have with the PT
Cruiser, not too many stand out colors for a machine like this. Black,
red, white silver, dark blue. Where is the Plum Crazy, the Limelight,
the screaming yellow?

Well, having driven a white Magnum SXT rental over the weekend and
spending a couple of hours at a photoshoot with a silver Magnum R/T (and
my '69 R/T.... watch the newsstands come September if it makes it
through the editorial process
I'm not sure that the lines of the car
would really "work" with a high-impact color. Maybe. But when you look
at the car sitting right beside a vintage muscle car, its plain to see
that it simply has FAR less painted area (no huge hood and trunk, and
the top isn't visible from most angles). I think a big area of paint and
the presence of chrome and creative striping is what made the
high-impact colors work at all. A plain "Plum Crazy" or "Limelight" car
doesn't look right- its gotta have the stripes and chrome accents.
Now a "bumblebee" stripe around the rear end of a Magnum... THAT might
work

Are you guys talking about an ad with 'toilet humour'? If so, I read about
that in a UK paper. Apparently quite controversial in your neck of the
woods. It is the one I think it is, here in the UK people would only have a
laugh.

Where the heck did that come from? NO, we're not talking about toilet humor.
