The BMW Magnetic Tow Technology web page (and newspaper ad) here in the UK was funny:

Nothing will ever top some of the classic BBC spoofs, such as the Spaghetti harvest (Switzerland? Italy?) or the vacation destination of the island of Sans Serif. Whenever I despair that Americans are the dumbest people on Earth, I remember these classics and realize that most people are stupid!
