Everything's wrong with that. People don't have an attention for movies, commercials, anything. I notice the difference even in my younger cousins, who are a decade older. They're yawning through movies I LOVED when I was a kid. They're growing up in the age of quick-cuts and digital effects, so it's boring for them.

ok... that's NOT sad at all! It shows that we're finally waking up to corporate marketing techniques. What's wrong with that?

Know what's sad? I don't think people have the attention span for a commercial like this anymore. They don't even mention the product until around the :45 mark.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I only have a vague memory of that commercial. I was beginning to think it was some false childhood memory that I might have confused with something else I'd seen on TV. I just did a google search on Mandy Patinkin. It sounds like he has overcame quite a few health issues.

The commercial you're a-talkin' 'bout Mr. August, was singer/ actor Mandy Patinkin, playin' a character called "Teen Angel", if memory serves.....

Does anyone remember ann old Seven Up commercial from sometimes in the early Seventies where this James Dean-type character is a ghost and looking in this "malt shop" where teenagers of the seventies are now sitting. And the ghost is saying something like "this is where me and Mary Lou" used to sit (as he stands next to a booth). And as he walks out of the malt shop in his leather jacket, you see his ghostly image get fainter as he walks down the street and 50s music plays.
