Beth and Stephen,

 

If you play the ad with the Dixie Chicks singing “Lullaby” from Taking the Long Road, in the background (a serendipitous media player accident), I guarantee you won’t be able to teach this afternoon.

Never have I been so grateful for a conference hour!

Shame on you, Stephen.  (For making me laugh so hard, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to teach this afternoon.)

 

No question, it's a brave new world.

A brave new frontier in advertising: Hairy and the optical inch.  First
Viagra, now this.

I must admit I hesitated before deciding to post this, and not only
because it's marginally psychology-related. Still,  I thought it was too
unusual to keep to myself, amd it's funny to boot.  If it offends anyone,
I apologize, and I'll never do it again.

This url http://tinyurl.com/ymwtzq takes you to the Amazon site, and make
sure your popup-blocker is turned off or you won't see it.

It's for real, although I initially questioned whether a major
established company could show an advert like this.  Apparently they can,
at least on the Intenet. But I think they'll hold off running it on TV.

Enjoy, I hope.

Stephen
