> I saw a new ad the other day that *really* baffled me. It was half music video and half arty monochrome camera angles, and featured some woman wandering around in various vague yet sexy-looking poses. The narrator drooled ecstatically in the background, "When was the last time you were seduced? When was the last time you seduced someone? When was the last time you danced until dawn in Paris? When was the last time you bought lacy lingerie? When was the last time you fell in love at first sight? Blah blah blah, decadence, sex, lust, romance, passion, excitement, blah blah blah." Arrgh, make it stop. On and on and on while Miss Sexy Lady pouted and posed.

Actually, now that I think about it, that sounds kind of cool. There's so many commericals like that, so maybe the cornflake people were making a minute-long parody.

Or maybe they're just dumb.
