Tony - Agree with you on the strange Toga adds for Xerox. (I think they are supposed to be a spoof of a Greek Chorus.) Looks to me like a potentially good idea gone berserk through overexposure and wacky execution. The first time I saw it I thought that it was kinda neat. After a few repetitions it makes your skin crawl. Kept seeing the ad on the ALCS last night (a lot of repetitions) and they will probably keep running right through the World Series. I suspect they wanted to give the impression that Xerox is really hip (to use a phrase that dates me). But they are oddly disconcerting. Something like those Suburu lying car salesman ads that started out cute and made you uncomfortable real fast.
