A simple question: Why are the commercials that are run during the Olympics, moreso than any other major television event, so much more engaging than the typical ads we're forced to watch? I find that in the three weeks, or so, leading up to, and through, the Olympics, the quality of the commercials, at least those aired on the hosting station, is greatly improved. I mean, they're FUNNY. They're entertaining. They're... CLEVER. Imagine if they were always this good? Imagine a world where we didn't despise advertising.

Lately, I haven't had the gumption for long entries. To all my fans, I'm sorry. Perhaps sending me candy will help. Or at least get you a mention in my weblog.
