| #4 I can't help but see the irony. Remember all those muslims who said we ought to examine ourselves for the root causes of Sept 11? Maybe THEY ought to examine why we draw cartoons of mohammed as a terrorist!!! |

| #1 "Sprint, meanwhile, scored laughs with a goofy spot featuring a guy in a locker room who touts the "crime deterrent" ability of his mobile phone — by hurling straight at the head of another guy after tempting him to try to steal his wallet." Reminded me of the spoof IBM commercial regarding how popular their modems were in Africa. The "interviewed" Africans extolled the virtue of the ruggedness of the modems in particular... then we find that they're used to crush nuts and things, not for telecomm. Heh. |
