i noticed several companies that have done the Certification Dance have done so to a soundtrack of their own choosing: they aren't using the standard form so generously provided by the SEC. DIS is one of the "culprits", i'm still looking for a copy of what they actually submitted.

Earlie - I've always thought the concept of a business show portraying an English major called "The Brain" as some kind of financial guru one of the greatest moments in American comedy. The idea is worthy of Milton Berle, and I laugh out loud every time I think about it. How about an ex-Wall Street sidekick obsessed with golf and his toupee, and who fancies himself Austin Powers? Pure sitcom material. Throw in an overweight narcissistic lawyer who doesn't practise law (how funny is that these days) to pose canned questions to an inexhaustible supply of predictably quirky "street stars", and you get the East Coast Hollywood Squares we see today. This be daytime fare to rival the soaps in order to get those advertising rates up. Nobody ever accused GE of not knowing how to market.
