So there's a long story behind this. I wasn't there myself, and some of the details have been lost to time. But bottom line, this WAS a real thing. 100% . But not really real.

This was a promotion. A gag. A stunt. It was staged in the day when it was cool to exaggerate the facts in order to hype a product, whether they were true or not. The more hype the better.

If you got invited to one of those gigs where they played with this comically oversized Vulcan, then I hope you took advantage of the open bar, free food, and hired models. Everybody was having a great time, weren't they. On camera, off camera, and really, really off camera.
