II was watching some intense LPGA (i.e.girly golf) while riding my Schwinn recumbent exercise bike.

During the commercial break a very clever ad for American Express was shown:

It showed bunch of happy faces made by accident in a normal house. For example, it showed an iron's electric chord laid across a shirt on an ironing board. The buttons from the shirt made the eyes, and the chord made the smile.

I looked for the commercial on YouTube so I could send it to everyone I know, but, luckily, couldn't find it.

However, it struck me: If the said marketers knew a guy who, at one time, carried a badge of anti-corporate, anti-commercialism was going to send his loved ones this ad, they'd probably give themselves high fives of success!

Love,

Cullen
