I know some OS members were a little upset when Shell became a sponsor, and befuddled when Lexus joined them. From there it would seem the logical progression would be Hilton -- gas up your Lexus and drive to a hotel.

But OS is apparently skipping the hotel sponsorship and going straight to what happens in that hotel. From what I've heard about what goes on between some OS members, it seems to me that Trojan is a COMPLETELY APPROPRIATE Open Salon sponsor.

Stay classy!

Update: I wish to point out that 5:04 pm is the exact time the Loma Prieta earthquake hit the Bay Area in 1989. Yes, the earth positively moved.

Okay, I'm new enough to OS to not know how people do it via OS. I think I'm missing out on something Big!

“Big” may be an overstatement Joan.

I haven't seen that ad yet. I HAVE seen ads for Dell (I still remember the slogan for that ad campaign: "Dude, you're going to Hell!") and some "get ripped in four weeks" exercise scam. Plus Tracfone, which I use, but you people with lattes and spinning classes and tons of pretense in your lives would never touch.

So my scenario is this: after gassing up with Shell, driving in the Lexus to the hotel and failing to use the Trojans, the guy is disappointed. He downloads porn until his Dell computer craps out, then goes to an exercise class that does him no good, and he buys a Tracfone for making a call to the suicide hotline.
