Have we all seen these ads on the tee vee machine? I had a small visceral
feeling of loss in my groin the first time I saw it and all times since.
I could not help thinking of V in V; I could not help thinking of P (and
others) awareness of how such vehicles appeal to most men. (Esp that
commercial where
the guy in the truck visibly melts over his envy and desire to be Motaur,
who still seems a half-human to pity or feel compassionate about to me. The
Centaur
myth wilfully recast with a machine? And it must be very popular as it
keeps being repeated and expanding as in the below. Amazeballs, right?
Something else
you didn't predict?

Any Plist thoughts?
