wow, I thought most of the FR-S enthusiasts would get it but I guess it was just us..
anyhow, to MrMcoupe, who at least stated that he didn't get it (instead of posting internet picture memes and referencing homophobic remarks), I will explain.
1. As you know, the Scion FR-S was inspired by the Toyota AE86.
Quote:
The FR-S is a true "scion," born into a lengthy history of Toyota performance cars and motorsports. The sports coupe is most inspired by the AE86 generation of the Corolla, better known as the Hachi-Roku, meaning "8-6" in Japanese. The front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe was lightweight and well balanced, making it a solid choice for driving enthusiasts.
Inspired by the AE86, the FR-S is built around the core goal of achieving "pure balance," which begins with the strategic placement of a flat 2.0-liter boxer engine in a front-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration. The engine's compact size and shape allows the FR-S' powertrain to be mounted lower and further back towards the rear, giving the car a lower center of gravity and a dynamically favorable front-to-rear weight ratio.

The skit we wanted to do was an regular FR-S photoshoot, interrupted by the passing by of an AE86. Tongue in cheek.
2. The driver of the AE86 is our good friend Curtis at Speedsyndicate in Vancouver, BC. His car details are displayed here by another video (much better than mine) https://vimeo.com/28391299 My friend recorded the amateur video and I just edited it quickly.
3. The song "Big in Japan" by Martin S eludes to the phenomenon about unsuccessful Rock stars making it big when playing in the music scene (1970's?) in Japan. I used this song because here we are doing an FRS shoot, then the real deal Hachi-Roku interrupts as to say to the other FR-S's "No, I'M BIG IN JAPAN".
4. Curtis is doing that expression on purpose. If you can't tell that he's goofing off, well I don't know what to say. lol
Anyhow, I thought FR-S enthusiasts would enjoy it. I thought wrong.
Sorry for wasting your time.
