I'm pretty sure I just saw a commercial for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups using "Jupiter" as the music.  In which the words appeared in conjunction with accented notes in the music.

On a completely different note, the last few chapters of the Monologion are completely crazy, but there is something pretty impressive about that last chapter, where Anselm unveils the final step:  this supreme nature we've been talking about...is GOD.  There's just such a sense of relief that he finally sits down and says what he's been working towards since chapter one.

edited to add:  this link from metaquotes .  For the two married Amandas on my list, along with anyone who can sympathy with the "writer/programmer" ship.

yet another edit:  I am so frickin' sick of these "high fructose corn syrup is just the same as sugar and is fine in moderation!" commercials.  Apparently I missed the earlier campaign of "OMG HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP IS OF THE DEVIL!!1!" commercials.  But regardless of its health implications (on the subject of which I am fuzzy), the fact that such a high percentage of our food relies on one product (i.e. corn) for its base means that if a corn blight comes we'll be worse off than Ireland during the potato famine.

Also, Coke tastes better with regular sugar.  Which is clearly the most important issue of all.

I don't watch enough TV to know what commercials are on, but I've youtubed the "HFCS is cool in moderation!" commercials and they are inane. I dunno if there was an "HFCS is the devil" campaign, but there should be, because it is.

Recently there was a publication that notes that some HFCS plants include a process that requires mercury, and sure enough, there are trace amounts of mercury in some HFCS. Not enough to matter, but if we're going to lie and twist things like the corn-lobbyists, why not.

Biochemically, the problem with HFCS is that it doesn't satisfy hunger the way real fructose/sucrose does. Infrastructurally, it sucks because it screws with the price and quality of corn (but that's only one part of that story...). Boo all around.

HFCS

it's also metabolized differently from sugar, and does evil things to both your blood sugar level and the way your body stores fat.

HFCS=> Bad

Yay! Now I will have real information to yell at the TV while watching these commercials.

Mostly, they're just SO BADLY DONE, with such BLATANT LOBBY FUNDING, that they kind of make me want to shoot people.

These commercials were all seen during the same 1-hour TV-viewing period, i.e., that of the Gilmore Girls, which comes on every day at 11 and which I only watch three times a week. So nyyyyyyyyyyyyyah. :-b

Sometimes when the little voice in your head says 'shoot people' it's RIGHT.
