Wonder how that happened. I know Comcast has a ton of different creative running at any one time, given their corporate/regional structure. And Multiple System Operators (MSO) always seem to have some sort of disconnect happening, somewhere. It seems to be a fundamental difficulty for their business model. Bill - Yeah, it's pretty Juno-esque. Jen -

The illustration doesn't really mimic the spot very accurately - looks much more cartoony in watercolor or pastel, inconsistent with the sharper SIMS-style illustration in the spot. Very strange - why would they have used a different style here? Looks like a fail whale, to me.

And I'm using YoutubeReloaded to build this custom playlist. I think it might work. Let's see. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.youtubereloaded.com/embed/swfobject.js"></script> <div id="YouTubeReloadedPlayer">This div will be replaced</div> <script type="text/javascript"> var s1 = new SWFObject('http://www.youtubereloaded.com/embed/player.swf','ply','470','470','9','#'); s1.addParam('allowfullscreen','true'); s1.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always'); s1.addParam('wmode','opaque'); s1.addParam('flashvars','file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtubereloaded.com%2Fplaylists%2Fudulgxflwa.xml&playlist=bottom&frontcolor=cccccc&lightcolor=66cc00&skin=http://www.youtubereloaded.com/embed/skin1.swf&backcolor=111111&playlistsize=200'); s1.write('YouTubeReloadedPlayer'); </script> Also, can we take a minute and ponder the awesomeness of embedded video?
