I thought it was a pacifier too, but in fact, it's a molecular D(z^2) orbital! /chemistry geek :D n8 I thought one of the video images looked a lot like a morphing pacifier. It was ironic b/c of the ravers there and the idea of having a pacification tool that resembles a pacifier. Tristan

The commercial stuff was relatively innocuous and predictably clueless. The loops they were running on the screen at the Cpop stage were especially dumb. Like Dan, I was amused/disgusted by the Bacardi thing, but at least they were running live shots of the performance quite a bit of the time at

I was very impressed by how low key ford actually. Yeah, they had two focuses at the front of the festival. But there weren't any Huge Focus signs all over, If I remember correctly, the main stage was lined with millions of them on the first night. They said Detroit techno - Ford Focus.

I didn't think they *completely* overdid it ... and it certainly didn't ruin the festival. The swirling psychedelic Ford logos were a bit silly though. The Bacardi video loop on the Underground stage was stomach-turning as well ... -d At 2:04 PM + 5/29/2001, Jayson B. wrote: So what

Mabye it's just me, but I think they did. Renaming the festival is probably the largest thing (buying the main stage wasn't enough?),but then the swirling ford logos, to the focus racer dude racing down the endless tunnel video effect, to the constant focus focus focus every single direction
