I'm so ashamed

 
Someone  just sent me the url for a corporate video promoting a tourist attraction in Germany.

According to the forwarded email accompanying the url:  "The Miniatur Wunderland model railroad in Hamburg, Germany is the largest in the world, covering 16,146 square feet of space with more than 10,000 train cars running around its 6.8 miles of HO scale track...." 

The email goes on to list several more impressive facts and statistics, before concluding: "Watch the new video above to get the full impact of this remarkable achievement, which has taken in excess of 500,000 working hours to build. There's good reason why this is Germany 's most popular attraction, already visited by more than 5 million flabbergasted tourists."

This model railroad is indeed a wonderful piece of engineering, but to my great shame, all I could do was giggle at the earnest narration detailing such features as the attraction's "over 200,000 miniature inhabitants,"  including: "thick people, thin people, animals on trips, very strong famous children..." (Wot?!!)  

And so on... you get the idea by now. ;)

Go ahead and prove you're a better person than me by marveling at the technical achievement without laughing (even a little bit) at the voice-over.
