How would you keep the black and white sheeps together and in place when 
forming the big sheep? What would the dogs have to do to move one leg of 
sheep through another without disrupting that group?
Also how do you keep the middle line in pong more or less positioned 
while there is a group of sheep with dogs passing?
I haven't even got a clue why the mona lise is in there and what they 
try to suggest. Probably only because they can use the leonardo 
baa-vinci joke.
The fireworks is another impossibility in coordinating closely 
positioned sheep groups.

although IANASH, I though it had 'fake' written all over it.

I hadn't seen it, so probably I have not the right group of friends. :(

I think the idea was they put different colors on different sheep, then 
herded them to form pixels, and painted the mona lisa in 10x10 blocks or 
something like that, taking pictures and stitching them together at the end.

  I didn't say "I don't believe it's computer-generated". I said "well,
that's a disappointment".

I didn't say you did. I simply explained why *I* didn't expect anything 
else. The key is in my last line. One you didn't quote.
