Yeh, that's what I was thinking too. I was just messing around with the last email, I was trying to get into the head of who might take these commercials seriously. And if the guy who was complaining about the home/work thing wasn't effective, I saw another one that had a cartoon of brain cells (they looked like clouds kinda) and they showed the healthy person with lots of squigly lines going through their clouds, and then the unhealthy person with sluggish, sparse squiglies going through their clouds. I thought that was pretty lame too.

Anyway, thanks for the advice, I think I'll just not watch TV.

Adam.
