Gee didn't expect that much response. Firstly, I'd like to say that
I never meant the implication which is derived from replacing
an "a" with an "o" in MacWharehouse, I was more curious as to
whether anyone found the adds offensive.  (some obviously have)
Some of you were probably thinking me a puritan, but if you met
me face to face, you'd probably be thinking the exact opposite!
(I can say that with almost certain certainty) Amazing what the
medium does.  I never said that I found the adds offensive, I
was more interested in the impression which the add leaves with
people.

The whole thing actually stemmed from a series of commercials on
TV, which advertised one of these 1-976 phone numbers which had
a similar delivery, but they were indeed not selling computer
related products.

If one hasn't seen these commercials, one doesn't necessarily
ponder the similarities, I did see, and did ponder. (must have
had alot of spare time on my hands that particular evening)


David..  (I really couldn't care less if Kerry is on the other
          end of the line)
