Video link posted a while back

Does anyone remember a short film that
was posted here a while back about a future
society under total control. There was a guy
driving home from work who stopped at a
petrol station, filled up and then was unable
to buy a Mars bar or something 'cos he had
reached his weekly quota of calories. The
guy in front in the queue couldn't pay with
money as his card was invalid ect....
Anyone still have the link?

Cheers.

I thought it was a written story.

May well have been, but there was a short film
posted here maybe six months ago, the guy was
driving home, well, his car drove him home, it
was a futurisic look at how our society could
become totally automated and controlled, I think
it was on Google Video though I've tried loads
of different keywords but still can't find it.
:?

I remember it, but don't have the link. I remember getting it off the no2id forum.

Cheers!!
I'll take a look.
I run a footie website, and everyone is creaming their pants in
anticipation of the smoking ban, I'd just like them to see the
whole picture of what legislation like this could lead to.
But then again, football is hardly a hotbed of thinkers LOL!!

posted with the one I'm after, but thanks all the same.
