None but the most rabid of TV geeks remember the early 1970s show "Longstreet." It was about a blind insurance investigator whose life coach was an antique dealer and martial arts instructor, played by the late Bruce Lee. "Be formless, like water" was one of the instructor's tenets, as was "don't get run over" (well, that should have been one). Lee once related his character's philosophies in an interview whose origin had been lost to the wind of analog media. But BMW found and resurrected the interview for a spot promoting its X3 SUV in Spain. Would Bruce Lee drive a BMW X3? Actually, We think he would have ripped the X3's fuel pump out and showed it to it before its warranty expired.
