Subject: Hilarious Cadillac ad

So, has everyone seen the hilarious new Cadillac ad?

View of a BMW 535i negotiating a slalom. Voiceover: "This BMW 535i can
negotiate the 700 foot slalom at 61.5 miles per hour." Then switch to
view straight down the slalom, about 2 feet off the ground, straight at
the nose of some kind of Caddy, waiting to start the slalom. Voiceover:
"But, with this Cadillac's 200 watt sound system, 21-way power adjustable
leather seats, and 132 cubic feet of interior space ... who cares?!"
And then they show the Caddy just plowing straight through the slalom,
pylons everywhere.

What a great ad!

From the UPI newswire on July 22nd:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

NEW YORK -- A circuit breaker failed early Sunday in the city's
second-largest sewage treatment plant, releasing at least 140 million gallons of
untreated wastewater into the Harlem, Hudson and East rivers, authorities said.
But water quality and beaches were not expected to be greatly affected, ...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Gee, I don't think I'll swim this weekend. Actually, from what I've
heard the drinking water here (in Columbus, Ohio) is far worse than New
York city's. Our water treatment facilities are probably laughing at the
NYC spill.

WTF Manager: "They only spilled 140,000,000 gallons? PSHAW! Why, we spilled
twice that directly into the drinking water supply! In fact, I think
I'll spill a few hundred million more after lunch! HAW HAW!"
