   	Oh, yes, you're right and I don't know why I didn't include   
   capsules of those either.  They're certainly worth chuckling over.

   	Oddly, I think the Green Public Service Announcements are   
   working much better than the regular old ones did.  Maybe the need   
   to have them tied, or mostly tied, to some specific message improves   
   their comic impact.  They have a thematic unity that lets them build   
   better even when it actually turns out to be one of the Max Weinberg   
   7 just wanting air time.
