No...  I mean the ones who sell you water for $1.75 per 16 oz bottle!

But, I heard that CDTV does have some Hollywood types behind it so the
point is moot.

PS  You know, the reason that used-car salemen are advertised as all be-
    ing stupid is to make people feel superior to them.  Advertisers
    are paid to dream up new ways to make used-car salesmen look stupid
    and to make the prospective buyer feel superior.  It is also the art
    of the conman to make his victims feel superior to him.  ...so that
    they don't supspect him.  Hollywood wants you to feel superior to
    it.  You've been taken in!
