Something that I love/hate about the interweb is that the ads so often look so cheap. Back when the net was new and there was nothing on it, I expectated that everything would soon look super high-tech and modern. But most of the banners I see are wonderfully hokey, like homemade furniture store commercials where they use unbeautiful Cocteau-esue devices to make amateur spokesmodels disappear as if by magic. Anyway, the ads I find to be the most Blade Runnery are the little videos of girls in tarty dresses reclining on couches. They laugh, they look amazed at something being said, they give a knowing look, and then it freezes for a second and plays again. There might be sound, but I've never seen it with headphones, so the ladies just go through their silent spasms of counterfeit zeal while I read my email.
