Inquiring minds want to know.

It is called advertising with schemes that work.

Oh, just in case someone hasn't seen that ad. I know, I know, not likely.

The ad got old real fast. At first it was kind of funny (I knew what it was for as Overstock.com had run another "Its all about the O" add a while back) but after seeing it every day and just about every channel I turned to, it became annoying fairly quickly.
But I must admit, the woman is attractive.

She's OK, not what I would call "hot" by any means.

Of course that part of the commercial is not "all about the gold". LOL!

Well I know someone who doesn't think so but then again he's a bit strange anyway.

I am a techie, I know many other languages better then English unfortunately. Therefore I confess, I actually had to go to Dictionary.com to convince myself that this was not an undergarment for Natalie Maines.

Ummm, haven't seen it.
About the only things I've caught on TV lately:
24, which is on the PVR or the VCR, so I skip commercials.
Battlestar Galactica, ditto on the PVR
"Whose Line is It Anyway?" on ABC Family from 10-11pm, because I'm falling asleep and it's silly. But usually, I pause it for a while, so I fast-forward through commercials to catch up.
If I get to watch TV at any other point, I'm flipping to a station that doesn't have a commercial on at the moment.
OTOH, my kids have probably seen it. THey seem to own the sets.

Yea, but is there any stock at Overstock. My searches there rarely result in what I am looking for.

Or a fire hose out of control.
I despise the commercials, by the way. They are aired WAY too often.
