                      A Major Television Network Event™

We were invited to Tonya and Squeaky's house for a Major Television Network
Event™—Madison Avenue's yearly Commercial Extravaganza, where they showcase
new television commercials and advertising campaigns. This year, Madison
Avenue used some sporting event to frame the commercials; I assume they did
this because sporting events tend to last several hours, but I suspect your
typical Hollywood awards show would last longer.

Sadly, the sporting event, some football game, proved to be more exciting
than the commercial showcase, although that one Pepsi commercial about half
way through was pretty cool, but they must have paid Prince a ton of money to
sing Purple Rain in a torrential downpour.
