Truth Campaign Succeeds - in Making Me Want to Smoke Out of Spite

Perfectly quirky white guy with a fro and a BANJO; an animated stork; a song about the "Sunnyside" of Truth that tobacco companies operate on.

Dear lord, someone get me a carton of Marlboro Lights. This campaign has to stop. They can't decide whether they want to inform, annoy or entertain, and what results is a cloying mish-mosh.

Pass the lighter. And the remote.

I Don't Know What I am Watching - But it Looks Good

I got an HDTV. I've changed already.

The other day I sat and watched a visual tour of a botanical garden in Sarasota, Florida.
Right now I am watching some concert, I think called "The Jammys." If I scan around and find a show on next that is just close-up shots of different types of wallpaper, I'll probably stay up and watch. It will be the best-looking wallpaper I've ever seen.

Now - to the companies who are too cheap to shoot their commercials in HD - I'm not buying your products. You are the black and white small space ads of TV. I'm talking to you, Garden State Brickface, Windows and Siding!
