[TPR] Fwd: AMAZING HONDA COMMERCIAL

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Yea, I hear the admin tried to approve the post remotely but was unable 
to, so it had to wait till they got to the right computer with the right 
access.  ;)

I think posts larger than 5 MB are held for approval, instead of 
outright rejected like on that -other- forum.  hahaha.
