Hey utility companies! Yup, I'm talkin' to you Verizon, Comcast, Weltman and the rest. You think you've got game? How about proving it. When you set up a service call determine a one hour window in which you will arrive. For each minute you're late the price for the call goes down by 1%. This means that if you're 60 minutes late, your customer gets 60% off the bill. After 100 minutes, there is no charge for the service.If you create and stand by a policy like this, your customers will become loyal customers, and your COMPETITOR'S customers will become YOUR customers.

. This this is about as pre-packaged as a tube of Crest, yet somehow, with blinding colors, inane songs, sweet silly cartoons, and - above all - REPETITION (as in, they sing "the Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi Show" 18 times in the first song!), I've been made to like them. When I first got the CD of music from the cartoon series, my initial reaction as a jaded old music industry type was to feel sorry for the poor schlep that had to work this train wreck. But then I looked around and found no one laughing, in fact, they were singing, like all those Who's down in Whoville. I digress, there was no singing. But the funny thing is, I've yet to see, hear or otherwise digest one piece of media about Puffy AmyYumi that hasn't been paid for - train ads, cartoons, CD promos - so I really can't say if the kids are eating this one up. What I can say is that it's fun. After all, as we're reminded 6 times in the show's theme song, "anything is possible". (Epic Records, 2004)
