From Rich Johnston's Lying in the Gutters column at Comic Book Resources:

Remember that scene in "Spinal Tap" when the set for the "Stonehenge" number appears and the plastic boulders are not eleven foot as required, but eleven inches, due to a mix up of notation on the original napkin?

Somewhere, in a factory in China, a bunch of guys are scratching their heads trying to figure out how to get the 200 metre tall cardboard standee Transformers that were ordered by a US marketing department into a packing crate.

They meant to request 200 centimetres, of course.

Thank goodness it was only for samples.

But do they go to 11?

[Professor Smooth]

But do they go to 11?

WHILE smelling the glove.

[inadvertent imitation]

Nice.

[Dragonoth]

That's insane! 20m tall I can see for outdoor purposes. That's only as tall as a six story building. But 200m? You could make a life-sized Godzilla at that height! lol

[Leonardo]

That's hilarious.

[Professor Smooth]

I wonder what will become of the 656 foot tall standups. They will probably be destroyed, but I wish I could see a picture of one of them, preferably next to something to show the scale of it.

They should photograph them next to a dwarf dancing around them.
