The best line so far today at OMMA Global and it was uttered by Goodby, Silverstein's Rich Silverstein in exacerbation over the dumbing down of America -- the one that's being caused by the shift in our cultural and media sensibilities.

To make is point, Silverstein is showing a series of then and now juxtapositions. Like the Super Bowl image of the commercial that introduced the Mac computer in 1984, and the current new millennium version of a GoDaddy commercial babe.

Another juxtaposition: Walter Cronkite to Bill O'Reilly.

Or JFK to Sarah Palin. ("I think whoever we elect for president should at least know how to read a book," he quipped.)

Then (Apple's "1984" Super Bowl commercial)

Now (GoDaddy's circa whatever commercial)
