    It doesn’t cast any shade on them because they have no control over the events, and is an undeniable demonstration of the vehicle’s reliability. Absolutely brilliant move

      It’s only a forklift if it’s came from the Fork region in Scotland, otherwise is just spring ladder

        That’s still better than their autumn ladder. Lots of lawsuits from injuries with those.

    Has to be AI. Germans don’t have a sense of humor.

      Germans have a great sense of humor, you just have to listen for a bit.

        From what I’ve seen most German humour comes in two flavours: intentionally very dry puns and unintentionally hilarious dry attitude to everything else in life.

          Seems about right! But like any other country, we also do the “quote old internet videos” humor. One of my current favourites from that genre is the one where a Grandma calls the Police to ask whether there was rain last night
          You don’t even need an english translation to understand why it is hilarious

            I have no idea what is going on but it was hilarious, thank you for sharing this, it’s been a long week with car issues, me being in hospital for a throat infection, and my mother needing an operation, and the power being out all day, so thank you this has really lufted mine spirits.

            I really want a translation, where’s Liam Carpenter when you need him?

    Ah, so it was just a big PR stunt then. I will not look into this further until the news confirm my findings.
