Franz: Who-What-When-Why. Who are we? What are we going to do? When are we going to do it? Why are we going to do it? I've forgotten again - was this John Belushi in Animal House or Bill Murray in Stripes?

I am not a fan of Compaq's new ad compaign...the music is creepy....the visuals are confusing (in one, at the end of the commercial, the camera shows two tattoo-laden, 20 somethings' back for no particular reason...odd)...the "Q" thing also seems lackluster.. I also have found Unisys's "We eat, sleep, drink this stuff" unmemorable, uncreative and safe... AT&T Worldnet: Ditto. Oracle's ads and slogans must have been designed by Larry Ellison himself...they ooze conceit to me (sorry Oracle fans..) The only one I do like is IBM's humorous vignettes...with the low-key piano thumping theme...edgy.....they don't always hit a home run....but, they rarely miss entirely....clever, IMO..
