I agree!  I have no idea what the production cost for those ads is (and they 
have
a BUNCH of 'em) but it doesn't matter.  I recieved a note from Mr Jarosh that
despite it's success there is no where near enough ad budget money for an AS/400
specific campaign.  You must realize that for every vehicle they sell every
dealer kicks in $x for advertising.  I don't know how many BPs would be willing
to do that.
