An IBM commercial from the period where Avery Brooks was spokesperson. Brooks complains about the lack of flying cars in the year 2000. Originally downloaded from adcritic.
Where is my Defiant? I was promised the Defiant. I don’t see any Defiant! Why? Because the Defiant has a cloaking device, and you will need a different kind of software!
Something magical in their voices…William Marshall…James Earl Jones….Avery Brooks…So grateful to have “A Man Called Hawk” in my home video collection, next endeavors: Spenser For Hire, Deep Space Nine…Thank you, Mr. Brooks, for your timeless, indelible portrayals…
You can’t be trusted with flying cars, you infants of the universe. Grow up, then maybe the Gods of Technology will grant your wishes. I repeat: Flying cars are not for children.
“I was promised flying cars!” I love it! I think flying cars is the answer to Detroit’s problems, myself! I want one! Electric, preferably, or maybe ion-powered!

Ideally we’d just have *hovering* cars. Less height to fall from.

There is a company in the USA that actually sells flying cars
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:45 pm
& trust me, ya’ll, the some of us drive in this country, do you really want flying cars?
I turn your attention to the movie, “The Fifth Element.”
