Marvellous example of Goldbergery. Like the 2002 Honda Ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2VCfOC69jc

Rube Goldberg contraptions aren't my favorite entertainment, but this one did have some imaginative mechanisms. Really though, this guy needs a girlfriend.
Come to think of it, maybe that is what the message is. "Slightly obsessive guy seeks easily amused woman."
