Tag line: "Take me drunk! I'm Home!" Or is it, "Take Me Home! I'm Drunk". Note to self: Call Starkist marketing...feed mayonaise to the tuna. DocStone

When I hear you describe ATHM's commercials it is apparent that the commercials are not created by ATHM but by the MSOs because I get completely different commercials here in Comcast land......most of which have been mediocre except for the one I described recently. That particular commercial (the spoof of the Millionaire show) is far better than anything I've ever seen come out of AOL. Perhaps ATHM needs to work with an agency to create a consistent national marketing message that runs across all the cable franchises instead of leaving the quality in the hands of the MSOs. In case you missed my description of that ad: Message 14148001

AOL's commercials are far better than Att/ATHM's. Why bother comparing AOL's commercials with ATHM's? According to you, they don't compete. After all compensation should be based on how your competitors are doing because the loyal employees will leave and go to the enemy if the pay is higher. You previously posted that @Home doesn't compete with AOL: Message 14100381 As did Solid: Message 14102944 So who are the competitors / enemy that you refer? What a week! First Comcast takes my advice and moves forward on self-installs and now you acknowledge (albeit indirectly, which is as close as you ever come to saying anything concrete) that I am correct and that AOL is a competitor of @Home.
