I am a pretty aggressive commercial zapper. I have not seen (or at least do not recognize) two of the three "burn out" ads mentioned here, but I have been ranting about that stupid "National Lampoon Vacation" ad (we call it the Chevy Chase ad, not the Christy Brinkley Ad) for a while now. They must show that a lot during NFL games. I guess it works because my remote finger seems to automatically hit stop when it detects her in the pool, but a micro-second after it does I start cursing - and I have generally positive feelings about Dircttv. I keep wondering why they have to play the hell out of this one - they have 4 or 5 different versions they could be rotating. When we were knocking on doors and making phone calls for O this Fall, we kept encountering people who said they had been contacted a week, a couple of days, a day (and, in a few cases, an hour) before. When we went back to our coordinator to tell them the problem, they invariably said that "you can not make enough contact" and that no matter how pissed off these people were, they would be more likely to get out and vote the more often they were touched. That may be true if Barak Obama or Christie Brinkley is the focus of the touch, but if I have to see Chevy-freakin-Chase one more time on my television set I am going to lose it man. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
