I often say that nobody ever lived in the past, they lived in now, just a different bit of now to us. I agree with you about the language on the ads. I am guessing this could be due to English as a foreign language. The agency that designed the ads are based in Brazil. Hey Mike – great to hear from you all those years off!

"Send and watch splendid and captivating films, 24/7" ??? It's just clumsy and camp - and "24/7" would have been meaningless. Take it from me, I was there. Actually, in the spirit of this website - I AM there!
