I hate to say this, but I saw the ads on MTV, and they looked pretty cheesy.

In particular, the lettering should have been antialiased, and someone 
should have resisted the temptation to use SO many colours on the 
'flying saucer'. 

Too many images from games etc were shown; some graphic designer should 
have been told to do some cool geometric animations. Remember, these 
things are 
being shown up next to MTV's cray (or whatever) generated station ids.

The only really neat thing about the commercials was ' ... and it wouldn't
be caught dead in polyester '.  Whoever came up with that line should be
put in charge of the whole campaign.

Michael
