    You'd think G4Tv would have been the logical place for such a advertising blitz.
    "Practically every one of the Top 40 records being played on every radio station in the United States is a communication to the children to take a trip, to cop out, to groove. The psychedelic jackets on the record-albums have their own hidden symbols and messages as well as all the lyrics of all the top rock songs. And they all sing the same refrain: 'Its fun to take a trip. Put acid in your veins' ."

    This is all part of MTV's strategy to get as far away from showing videos as humanly possible. Next week, MTV unveils a new Cheeto brand snack food!

    Well, everyone gets MTV (unfortunately), and few people get G4/Tech, so it does make sense, but I don't think it matters either way. With Microsoft's promise that all Xbox360 games will support at least 720p widescreen, it will be quite a nice showcase for HT setups...

    All I want is Perfect Dark Zero.

    Except G4 isn't as globally accessible as MTV is.

    Hmm, when WAS the last time MTV actually played a video? I haven't watched them since the 80s.

    And if I might ask, just who is Elijah Wood? Was he one of the hobbits?

    He played Frodo. I think he IS a hobbit.

    Damn! The surprise is gone. I was told that there was a character in Sin City-a freak--that was somewhat of a surprise casting. I was looking foreward to seeing who it was. It has to be E.Wood. Oh well. I'm still looking foreward to seeing it.

    Late!
