The title clearly flashes on the screen when they download it. I had a similar issue when dragged to see "The Holiday". The Jude Law character keeps getting phone calls from girls named Olivia and Sophie; turns out they are his very young daughters, so why do they come up individually on his cell phone?? Does each girl have her own phone?? Does plucky little 3 year old Olivia have her very own mobile? Or perhaps 6 year old Sophie was the first in her kindergarten class to get a cell phone. Really ruined the movie for me! I totally agree with you regarding the commercial. The title clearly flashes on the screen when they download it.

Fun! I, too, was scratching my head about the Cingular ad. As a former ad writer, I'd say it's a good concept, poorly executed. There are plenty other lyrics that are butchered that aren't the title of the song! How about "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a ..." (written by Springsteen, by the way) Hi,
