Can there be too much truth in advertising?
Watch this spoof of those commercials we've all seen and you decide.
var playerhost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://www.ezs3.com/secure/" : "http://www.ezs3.com/players/");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + playerhost + "flv/TheWizard/CFFA9343-C13E-DA28-FB6AF30CAE00F50C.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
Let me know what you think. Leave a comment and let's talk about it!
