What does this commercial mean

Your vid doesn't show for me. I'm not complaining, just saying ;)

These must be from the same sects that catalog filtered pics of their daily meals, yes?

Actually, Bethany Mota is very talented. She'll turn age 19 in three days, and she is already estimated to be earning half a million dollars a year. She released a record last month and has survived 7 eliminations in the 13 couples competing in Dancing with the Stars competition.

I saw your advertisement for this board on wizard of vegas. There doesn't seem to be as much activity here tho. What's the theme of this board?

Fast forward thirty years. How much of this "Orwellian-ness" we currently see is now a direct result of the advent of the computer? The very computer they pitched in the anti-Orwellian ad?

This campaign ran from May 2006 to October 2009 for 66 TV ads (15 of them in the above video), but it's odd that the concept of social networking wasn't mentioned. With everyone reporting on the twitterverse today, it seems funny that wasn't mentioned. I know facebook was founded in 2004, but I can't really remember when it became ubiquitous.

When Michael started the Wizard of Odds about 14 years ago, he had a contact list where people could submit questions, and he would choose some to answer in a monthly letter called Ask the Wizard. His first answers were all strictly Probability calculations, but very quickly questions about the business began to be asked (do casinos tighten slots on weekends). Within a few months he answered his first non-gambling non-mathematics question.

I was just wondering, if you know everything, then what was the date that my boyfriend and I first started dating and broke up (the very last one)? Will we ever be back together? SAMANTHA FROM HANNOND, USA
First starting dating on August 17.
Last break up on February 4.
You will break up four more times.

At some point he augmented the time consuming question and answer format in Wizard of Odds in favor of a forum in Wizard of Vegas.

But the non-gaming questions began to overshadow the gambling questions. He created this website to divert most of the non gaming questions. While physics and mathematics questions are welcome here, if you have any gambling questions The Wizard has asked that you post them on Wizard of Vegas. The reason is that the original websites have been sold, and he manages them.

Thannks I didn't know what the theme here was at first, but I will like being able to discuss non gambling stuff. It is too bad there's not as much traffic here compared to Wizard of Las Vegas though

Don't remember this one.

A woman, in shorts, wielding a hammer? You too can have power previously unimaginable. And with that power can blow to bits the Orwellian society forming around us.

yep, never get tired of that commercial.

one thing that sticks though, is I tried to take up throwing the hammer in track. Absolutely could not keep my balance the proper way, and my modified way caused erratic placement [too many fouls].

so watching the commercial reminds me of my athletic failures too [vbg]
