Conclusive proof that you can like Gmail too much

I like Gmail as much, if not more, than the next person (whoever he is). But I clearly don't like Gmail as much as the Russians. Posted on the Gmail Blog today was a video of a recreation of the Gmail interface made out of...

"- 162 meters of gray tape
- 45 lego pieces 
- 32 sticks of plasticine
- 18 brushes
- 18 square meters of batten
- 12 cans of spray paint
- 10 liters of white paint
- 4 reams of paper
- 2 kilograms of millet porridge
- 1 printer
- 1 hair dryer
- 1 mop
- 1 saw"

Here's the video...

Did my eyes deceive me or am I right in thinking that in the bit where the simulated the increase in storage space, at one point they changed the last digit from a 3, to a 3? So ok, one big round of applause for these guys because that is just incredible. But making a mistake like that is just dumb. Spoils it if you ask me. Plus, I have so many questions after it, the most pressing of which is, why bother?

It's an ad for Gmail. Why do Americans make ads
that are even more time-consuming and costly?
I guess they expect it to be worth it.
