*I* thought it was wonderful, but I know *YOU* would hate it since you
seem to loathe all things even remotely connected with Kate.

Hey, they were my some of my favorite current ads on teevee even before I
found out Kate's involvement.  Of course, this comes with a MAJOR qualifier
"My favorite teevee ad" holds as much strength (or lack thereof) as "My
favorite Michael Bolton song" or "The Republican I respect the most".  In
other words, they ARE pretentious, unclued, obnoxious crap, but LESS APPALLING
than 99% of the unclued, obnoxious crap out there.  If they got rid of the
faux-new-age-meets-gen-x captions (aimed at folks like me who hit mute when
any advertisement comes on), it would be more bearable.  I kinda *LIKE* the
kalaidascope fruit stuff.
