That toothpaste ad is terrible. It basically says that black people are things. I mean at the end the guy lays down and is morphed into black herbal toothpaste...I mean if it were performance art or some crazy animated thing by a black artist...maybe. But as it stands toothpaste ads should not manipulating ethnic minorities to make a buck.

checking without a box is where it's at, man. THINK OUTSIDE THE LINES. ; )

I think albums are great, but inevitably the conventions of the past are going to fade away. Artists are going to release more single mp3's or smaller collections of songs and no longer feel the need to label things "lp" or "ep." I mean song-cycles might be grouped in some way, but fifty years down the line people are going to let go of this whole "album" idea. Listeners are going to decide how songs should be contextualized, by making mixes, playlists, and setting their iPod's to shuffle mode. The album has to go. On the other hand classical composers made operas before recording even existed, so there will still be lots of room for grand conceptual works. (á la The Kinks or the Mars Volta).
