obviously, it was made by God (Almighty).
I mean, when was the last time you saw a wheel, by itself, roll up? it was a miracle!

according to a discussion on another forum, the tires had heavy lead weights in them so when they were nudged the weights pulled the tires forward up the ramp.
if you watch the tires closely, you can tell the tires are rolling kind of funny

There was this old dos-based game where you could set up your own stage of items the same way as that commercial... Does anyone remember what the name was for that one? I am in such a need getting that marvelous piece of software now

hmm.. I kinda thought they used magnets.
but watching those tires closely...they don't lose momentum when going up the ramp. in fact one tire bumps another and stops for a split second, then continues to move upward. it lost momentum then regained it... that's not possible even with weights, if my pitiful background in physics is correct.

wait, acutally nevermind, it is possible, after thinking twice...
still a bit disconcerting to see a tire accelerate up a ramp using the force of gravity.

This spot is a complete and utter rip-off of a video done IN 1987 by the artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss called "The Way Things Go". It honestly makes me sick to see this blatant bastardization of one of the landmarks of late 20th century video art. F/W did theirs by hand in a warehouse with real tires, trashbags, shoes with weights in them and model rocket engines.
Somebody got PAID for this crap?

I forgot to mention that the original is about 21 minutes long and is available at amazon.com for $20.
