I can't believe I did it again! I realize the problem now... I am browsing with IE7 beta something and it is messing with the view. I'm going back to firefox.
Jake, I'll trying posting this one in the right thread.
re: tv ads... I think the cut and paste ads do away with the hollerin' cowboy and give small business owners an opportunity compete with the big boys with higher quality ads. These ads usually run on cable on well-known national networks like espn. This does prove your point, though...an abundance of media choices lowers advertising costs and gives the little guy greater access to all media.
This may not be as bad as it sounds, it all depends on the quality of the ad to begin with. I've seen a few of these with other ad agencies. Most viewers don't know the difference between the clipart and a regular ad, except when they see the same ad for multiple businesses :)
