    Nope, not the only one...but I'm guessing there are just a few of us left.

    I was in a local Radio Shack a few weeks ago to buy a relay for a
    heated grip installation. The store had been "renovated" again
    since my last visit so I asked the kid behind the counter where the
    relays are now. He replies with "Uh, what's a relay?"

    Damn kids....:crackup:

    Back on topic I chuckled at the Colbert pistachio head commercial.
    Just seemed so appropriate.

    pistachio bit with Colbert was money. other than that, I only liked the Microsoft ad.

    I immediately predicted that there would/will be, and I think we're all naïve if we don't acknowledge that this was their intent.

    Would any of us have talked about a stupid Coke ad if people weren't offended?

    I thought it was a dumb ad, but I don't care what language you sing in.

    Doberman owners didn't think so. I understand that it was a joke, but I can appreciate the sensitivity people have when their dog breed is portrayed as aggressive and violent. I would liken it to a commercial that portrayed sportbikes as high-velocity death machines. Even as a joke, we wouldn't love it.

    Dave K DaveK über alles!

    A bad case of broken butt over that ad? Then doberman owners need to lighten the f@ck up. What about the chihuahua owners? They going to get pissed too? What about acoustic guitar fans? Should they be pissed? What about causeheads? Shouldn't they be pissed about how they were portrayed? Fans of Sarah McLachlan? Chicks that carry dogs around in their purses?

    Throw some suave on your ass rash.
