VW Touareg Publicity Stunt Already Outdone

After watching the video of a Touareg pulling a 747 I thought it all seemed to familiar... I faintly remembered watching a world's strongest man competition a few years back that did the same thing, except for one MINOR modification. Instead of an SUV, truck, or car; they used a single man. I finally got to looking it up and although I couldn't find any articles talking about that particular occasion, I found one announcing his next stunt that cites back to the 747 pull. Read the article for all the details. The man's name is Mark Crookes. In my opinion everything is relevant, and what good is a stunt if you have nothing to compare it to? Well heres come comparison material.

Jake- I love your foolery, you seem to be in about 10th grade.

First you mention in a previous post about WWII and the German loss to bad engineering. More like a bad strategy did them in, among other well documented leadership issues. So by your comments you think the Japanese won the war? Hmm all of those Zeros took about one shot before they disintegrated over the pacific in a ball of flame. Get your facts straight first before you spew your verbal diarrhea.

If you wanna talk about high tech? Look no further than the space programs of modern day countries.

Just where is the Japanese space program since they are so good at everything? Still lobbing tin cans (satellites) into space but not much beyond than, and manned adventures are almost nonexistent. The Germans pretty much ran the US, Soviet programs and the world for 30 years. Without the foundation they laid in the 60’s we all would be shooting bottle rockets, and flying piston engine planes.

Your fallacy about German engineering is way off bubba. Go crawl back in your hole and assume the fetal position, where you belong.
