Forgot to mention--Liese. Gorgeous haircut. Gorgeous you!
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

[insert something funny here]
Throwing in my two thumbs up for Liese's fab new hairstyle - looks great!
I agree with Allyson that 'natural' use of product placement makes total sense in shows and films... and I admit I love it when a certain product adds something to the reception (Sorry - watched "Hellboy" earlier and still grinning from seeing him drinking a can of a certain caffeinated engery drink!)
Major Placements bug me though - and I can't belive that the advertisers are so often blatant about it. I remember with pain when I watched the (US Version) of the Season Three Premiere of 24...
"Brought to you without commercial interruption by the [whatever car it was - probably a Ford Focus!]"
It's an evil double-edged sword - they're acknowledging the fact that commercials are an interruption to the viewers pleasure, and attracting the viewer to the show sans interuption, yet at the same time leaving the viewer in no doubt whatsoever as to the great product responsible. Like cheating or something. Bah.
Edited to add: Look at the time! Must sleep.x

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Liese, you look fabulous.
Reminds me I need to get my wild mane trimmed again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Liese! You're glorious. And the haircut's good too.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I'm just a little jaded from having to build a company the hard way.
Sydney, after working for idiots (two different start-ups) who just wanted to screw over investors and make a quick buck and went up in spectacular flames of bancruptcy, I have learned that the hard way is the best way. Just sayin.
Liese, Hair looks fabulous!
And I am completely oblivious to product placement. I have never noticed it in Alias. (shrug)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Just popping in to say Liese's new 'do is fabulous. I love the cut and the color.

Liese, your hair looks fantastic! you are brave chopping off all of that hair. i'm sure the Locks of Love people really appreciated it though.
Did you yell, "YOU ARE ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA!"? (I did that when I discovered my friend loved WB Superstar USA.)
hahaha...i say this to a friend of mine and my father all. the. time. they drive me crazy watching all those crap shows. though...my friend did draw the line at Superstar USA. so i suppose i should be thankful.
