I love the strangely animated/set city. :)

I like the city too.

This reminded me of a short-lived TV series (NBC - I can't remember its name right now), where a young couple had moved into a gated, high-end community, mostly due to fear in the city. (He was an author, and she was some sort of executive).

He would run with the only black guy in the community (who was a sports professional), and he would always run faster than the pro, and wouldn't let him catch-up to him. In one of his voice-overs, the author guy said, "How can I explain that I run faster and faster when I'm ahead of him, because I keep thinking I'm getting chased by black man, who wants to rob/beat me?"

Yeah, now you know why it was short-lived.... :-)

Does this commercial look familiar to any of you? Anyone see "What Women Want" with Mel Gibson?? This commercial is a rip-off of the one Mel Gibson's character designed for Nike Women's division. I am let down by New Balance.

Looks nothing like it.
