...there's nothing to make you feel ready for the cultural glue factory like MTV's stunt-comedy show Jackass. You see its young male pranksters riding and crashing shopping carts; getting turned upside down in a sloshingly full portable toilet; swallowing a goldfish and puking it into a bowl; dressing up like a disabled person and getting pushed off a wheelchair.

It was invigorating to see a commercial and response of that nature, and I applaud Cingular for its novel step in Super Bowl advertising. In the midst of tube-sock donning Britney Spears, buckets of beer, 200 lbs. muscle machines and salsa, it is vital to have 60 seconds where one can be reminded of what truly matters in life...
