Yeah....I've seen it and I like it, too! Being a guy, that's one thing I don't have on my list of life's most embarrassing moments. I just wonder if that's ever happened to RuPaul or Dennis Rodman?:-) However, I've actually walked out of a restaurant bathroom and all the way back to the table where my date was sitting with toilet paper stuck to the bottom of my shoe! Talk about embarrassing! RW

It is a good commercial, for entertainment value. I like it too. But I'll be damned if you ask me what product they're selling. I think it's a good commercial when I walk away remembering the product in a positive light. Seems so many commercials are put together by moles at the competitor's advertising agency. I saw one tonight I thought was excellent until I re-thought it. It's the Honda Odyssey mini-van commercial, long shot of a slick living room, very thin wife, well-dressed husband, she can't stop laughing at the idea he'd think about getting a mini-van. Don't think mini-van, think Odyssey. I thought that was brilliant, but on second read, makes you wonder. Does the guy who's too sophisticated for a mini-van need to be told his wife might not laugh at him if he calls it an "Odyssey" instead of a "mini-van"? I mean, maybe the fear was unconscious, and now the guy knows he's going to get laughed at if he buys a "family" car. CB
