I'd been planning to comment on this as well, but I wanted to
hear the commercial again in case I'd misheard something the
first time (IIRC I heard it during prime time, but I can't
remember if it was on television or radio).
I'm all for seeing "my brand" promoted, but this bit did give
me pause as well. What entity could grant such a status on
behalf of "the Internet"?
(Okay, I guess Pentax could propose an RFC and get it accepted,
but ...)
