When you don’t know, follow what makes you happy!“. This is the jolly claim of the brand new Honda Civic campaign, which is starred by a big smiling dog. In the video below, you’ll see  him enjoying his ride in the back of his owner’s car, facing the wind and feeling great.
Riding in a car in a sunny day is always funny, and most dogs love it, but do you know what makes this dog feel really comfortable? The new Honda Civic interiors, which are designed to close and disappear completely, giving the dog all the space he needs. You can actually try the new seats, and fully understand how they work, by following the link to Honda Civic’s Youtube Channel.

“Mediated experiences of killing change our perception of authentic violence and death. As gamers die in a public video game server of a modified version of Counter-strike, a popular online first person shooter, the electronic solenoid valves dispense a small amount of fake blood. The trails left down the wall create a physical manifestation of virtual kills, bridging the two realities. The title is inspired by the Telefon Tel Aviv song of the same name. ”
