Nope, Stewart--they *are* for Wal-Mart, announcing they're now carrying
the "George" line of clothing from England.
Don't get me started on commercials these days...I spent the summer
away from tv, but now I'm seeing way too many annoying ads. That Gap ad
with Lenny Kravitz telling us in the lamest, made-it-up-on-the-spot
"song" (which probably took him days to write) how hot hipless horse
Sarah Jessica Parker is. Or any number of blatantly lies in Tooth
Whitening commercials: "after three days" "yep, three days" "uh uh,
three days!" Three days after what? What did the teeth look like
before? etc...
Sheesh.
