     Keith Olbermann, calling them a "true delight."  Garfield:
     "The casting is inspired, a perfect use of Olbermann, whose
     sardonic irreverence is just the thing to burst the gigantic
     soap bubble of expressionist pretentiousness in ads of the
     Obsession ilk" (AD AGE, 3/16)....Converse Inc. said it

     I'm having a difficult time finding one that could be more
     greased than Phil" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 3/16).
