Definately related to the MINI and on-topic yet odd...

I have to start a new thread to ask everyone this question:

If you were going to design a smiley where two smileys were having sex in the back of a car, why would you use a MINI in this smiley?



Seems a bit odd to me. The MINI is one of the smaller cars that makes this act a bit difficult, though not impossible as it has been discussed and diagrams have been posted. But why the MINI? Are MINI drivers known to pull over on a starry night and shake their Cooper? And look closely what they are doing. I just don't get it. At least we all know that the cop is only stopping to say "hey, nice car!"

I think it's becauseit's a small car. Everyone just expects people to have sex in the backseat of a Caddy...

Well fine. Ive never seen it. Dont you feel stupid when you've never seen something before and it turns out it is old news?

Well at least the questions are valid. And yes, I realize that I am overthinking it, but it really made me wonder why they used the MINI. Maybe I should get some more sleep.

This ad for MINI might have inspired it. (requires Quicktime)

Due to conservation of pixels....

so it doesn't take too much screen space? Think of how long it would have taken to create, and how much space, that smiley would have taken with a stretch hummer!

I understand your questioning MINITOR, my mind works the same way.

In this case, I try not to wonder why so much as just appreciate that it's a kick-@$$ MINI related smiley!!

BTW, sometimes it's fun when someone "rediscovers" something that's old, but maybe hasn't been shared in a while, or hasn't been seen by everyone. I will giggle EVERY time I see that MINI-a-rockin'!
