Impossible May Be Nothing, But This Thing Is Impossible

Apparently, this is an ad for some kind of head injury hospital.

(via Neatorama)

Um, no, anything is not possible. For example the thing that you just showed, you know, the bike thing with the suction cup tires or whatever. That's not possible. There are a bunch of other things that are also impossible that I can't think of right now, but that's definitely one of them, the suction cup tires bike. Keep thinking, sure, but probably stop thinking about the suction cup tires bike. Because it's a waste of all your thinking.

Anyway, it's hard to get excited about a CGI suction cup tires bike when we've been living with CGI hoverboards for almost 20 years. I mean, if you have to pick an impossible thing that can never exist, are you going to pick the kind of cool one that some child actor pretends to have invented, or are you going to pick the amazingest one ever that still makes you so angry about how it doesn't exist well beyond the age that it's appropriate or socially acceptable for you to get angry about such things? Huh, McFly?

I mean, seriously? If I was 7 years old and saw this commercial, I would be on my way to the hobby store.
