Somebody must have delivered the message. I heard the
spot today, and they cut the excema line out.

Now, if we can get the jerk-off announcer for the Jewelry 
Exchange to stop pronouncing it "Joo-ry," we'll be getting 
somehere.

And could somebody please tell the dullard from Copier 
World that inflection can change the entire perceived 
meaning of a sentence? He reads the line:

"Don't let the *low price* fool you..."

Which, by emphasizing the words "low price," implies 
something *else* about the offer will fool you instead. 

The proper read, of course, is to put a slight emphasis on 
"fool you."

Where the fuck are the directors when these spots are
being recorded?

Cheers!
