John, Re: Umpa-Lumpa, Doodley-Do, I have another riddle for you... What do you get when a company's fat?..Overpriced products performing like crap..."

ROFL! That would beat the train commercial by miles. <g> But more seriously: The problem with TV ads is that they reach a very broad audience and are very expensive. I think a more targeted effort e.g. to reach "IT decision makers" would be a better idea. The problem AMD currently faces is not the consumer market but the business market. And I doubt that a broad TV campaign would help in that effort.

The soccer banners would be a form of TV advertising.

Actually AMD has them for two years now in the German Fußball-Bundesliga (our most popular sport watched by millions every weekend). They say "AMD PC-Prozessoren" and have the AMD logo on it. I see them in almost every stadium but I'm not sure how successful they are. At least they help to establish the AMD branding.
