If You Think Garbage Trucks Smell, You Need to See This South African Garbage Truck This must have taken a lot of work.

So why wait when you're on the move? With BASE 4G, you can surf everywhere as fast as at home." It would certainly be a bit disconcerting to see the dreaded spinning ball while watching "regular" TV so perhaps this did a good job grabbing the audiences attention.
