Not my cup o' either, but it's still kinda cool. I mean, hey Mark, if you can use it to sell stuff that's otherwise too banal to generate interest, and if you have no problems setting aside your artistic integrity in order to prostitute yourself, I say go for it! <vbg> Seriously, it does liven up the shot, and in the right environment it would certainly work very well.
