A Brief Word About Life In A Day

Life In A Day is the ambitious Ridley Scott project in which thousands of people submitted videos of themselves going about their business on July 24, 2010 to YouTube, which were then edited together to make a film about a day in the life of the citizens on Earth, 80% of whom apparently live in North America.

It's quite good (let's say 6 out of 10 good), even though it's basically You've Been Framed: The Movie but with fewer people falling over.
Anyone who's seen Life In A Day can't fail to have been repulsed and distraught by one stomach-churning clip involving a dumb animal being stripped of its remaining dignity inside a horrendous contraption that nobody in their right mind would want anything to do with.

I'm referring, of course, to Lamborghini Man.
Lamborghini Man only appears briefly, but in that short time he succeeds in showing to the world that he's a smug prick with a horrible car and little sense of perspective.

It occurred to me, though, that perhaps his clip had been edited that way: a cynical cinematic sleight of hand deliberately designed to manipulate us into believing that a potentially good and decent chap is a proper bellend. So I tracked down his full clip as submitted, to see if it vindicated him and showed him to be a worthy citizen of the world and not just a twat in a hat.



Turns out he's just a twat in a hat.
