We've seen a couple of heartbreaking news in the past like the Too Human delay (for Max F.) and StarCraft: Ghost becoming vaporware for this writer. One of our internet hamsters found a couple of videos that certainly broke a lot of hearts here at QJ Central.

It actually feels like videos from "Maximum Exposure" or "World's Most Amazing Videos" since we did flinch a lot while watching. Here's a briefer: A commercial for Bizarre Creation's Project Gotham Racing 4 which involves a Ferrari F430, '63 Corvette, Mercedes-Benz SLR, and a bike was being shot at a tight corner. Unfortunately, the F430 does an Eddie Griffin and drifts too close to the safety wall, then poof! Costs for the said commercial instantly skyrocketed.

Anyway, check out the videos and assess the damage. Good thing we can bash up expensive cars (well, virtual cars) in Project Gotham Racing 4 without the added cost, right?
