John, I still have to change the channel whenever I see the start of one of those Carl's Jr. commercials. And I'm not alone; many others agree that they are disgusting. I remember a news story on them and I think the gist of it was that they recognized that a certain percentage of the audience would be "grossed out", but that these were not their target customers, or something to that effect. They must be working for them or they wouldn't have been running so long. Still, it's the fastest way for me to change channels. That and the weirdly dark "something wicked this way comes" poems on one of those US car commercials (buick?). They are truly annoying and unappealing in every way to me. I like Jack-in-the-Box's commercials because they appeal to everyone, young and old, sloppy or neat. They're just plain funny and cute.

Still waiting for FM to take off. I'm confident it will be back up closer to $18 than $15 real soon, and should be more like $20 if we can just get some interest in it again.
