I was subjected to this horror earlier tonight while signing out out of my yahoo email and couldn't resist posting about it. Here'smy 90-second rant:Hey, FRS: This only works if the superstar athlete is a) still competing, b) 100% not tainted by doping allegations, and c) still a role model to anyone with half a soul.

Looking forward to the Barry Bonds version of the ad.
Oh, and Lance... stick to selling Nike,Oakley and Trek. Everything else is off limits to you from now on.
