I think it's highly likely that I *never* saw that Red Cross commercial, 709; because if I had, I wouldn't have liked the Liberty Mutual ad 'nearly' so much. I would've felt like it was a rip-off, just as you did.

The commercial I've seen a lot lately, but enjoyed every time, is the one (for Sprint, I think) where a guy is sitting on a bench in the city with his laptop, and two buzzards come and sit down beside him, looking at him as if *he's* going to be 'lunch', because his downloading is taking *such* a loooong time.

I love ad agencies with a sense of humor that doesn't treat the viewing public like complete morons, and doesn't bludgeon us over the head spelling out the point of their message as if we're too dim to figure it out unless they hold us by the hand and walk us through it.
