It is typical that some of the best new computer graphics come out during
the election/olympic year.  

I have the Olympics tuned in with the sound off, and only look up
during the breaks/commercials.  My favorite sofar is the commercial
for Pacific Yellow Pages (standard disclaimer, no affiliation).  
Alas, I've only seen it once.  Typical.
