Oh my goodness. The television just showed me a Motel 6 ad wherein dozens of animated computer arrow cursors swim, spermlike, up to the chain's logo, and when one of the arrows makes it inside the logo (and clicks) the other arrows-as-sperms (avoiding the Latin for obvious reasons) drift away, disinterested. Is this really the image that you want people associating with your already marginal chain of inexpensive motels? Are hourly rates next? I, myself, would sooner sleep under the stars in Bumtown or Junkieville than brave the bedding of a joint thus advertised.

Why no one cares about terror alerts:

"The method chosen to deal with this here seems inappropriate. The warnings don't say what you're supposed to do or where you're supposed to look. It's, 'Be afraid, but go about your business.' If you go about your business, presumably you're not afraid. You condition mice by keeping them in a constant state of terror."

Accompanied by the Alert-O-Mat.
