By Chungaiz | Published: May 30, 2008
You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video Well, skydiving out of a plane to spell out Honda in the first live advert for about 50 years is certainly “difficult” but as a friend of mine pointed out, “what’s the point?” (charming as it is though, might I add!)
