Highlights of this thread:

"I make it my habit not to trust any advertisement and try, in the real world, anything that sounds like it might be helpful to me. The proof is in the pudding"

"Mmmmmmmm...pudding...mmmmmmm (in best Homer-speak)" [You forgot the "chaawwwwwk-lit"...]

"And what better way to pimp them than..."
[Right - haven't a lot of businesses & ads today learned to 'pimp' an obsession, compulsion, nuerosis, or addiction?]

"the almighty bling does prevail. it is BUSINESS*. at the same time, i believe "pimping" is an appropriate way to describe these ads. like danny says, it's always good to read the fine print. blame the idealistic side in me to post this thread" ...[* - except it's actually pronounced, "bidniss" [img]wink.gif[/img] ]

"Again, in the "small type" of the ad, the part most people don't read"...[same wif da 'bidniss' contracts...]

"it's clear what the gist was in the cold light of day!!" [...I've heard that you English chaps can put away some pint-age [img]wink.gif[/img] - but fret not, as I've thrown back PLENTY 'in my day!'] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Classic HOD-HB.

Thanks to u guys 4 "K.I.R."... [img]cool.gif[/img]
