> > The thing that really used to get me were those Claritan commercials when they first came out. They spent fifteen minutes playing happy music, telling me how my life would be changed forever if I used it, and listing a long list of negative side effects; all without ever once explaining what Claritan is supposed to *do*. I guess they assumed everyone already knew, but it could have been cough syrup for all they let on.

The second line is, "Nothing but blue skies, do I see." Irving Berlin wrote it circa 1935.
