PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"NY Times 9/9/01" |
Call me crazy, I know this is true, but I don't know where it goes.In the rules, it states to even watch the ads, so I did. Toyota and Sprint appear to be the bigger sponsors so I paid special attention to their commercials during Ep#2. The last Toyota ad that appeared right after Jim screams was different than the others. It has a pop-up line which reads, "New York Times September 9, 2001", across the bottom of the screen. Are we supposed to pull a copy of the Times from a year ago to find a clue there? Has this thing been in production long enough to supplant such information? I'll see what I can find out on this one.

There is an article in the 9/9/01 NY Times from their web archives site about the '02 Camry. I don't know if it contains any clues as you need to purchase the full article. The snapshot is enclosed. Maybe this was just part of the advertisement and means nothing to the game. I just found it odd.BEHIND THE WHEEL/2002 Toyota Camry; After Lots of Laurels, No Resting By PETER PASSELL (NYT) 1469 words
Late Edition - Final, Section 12, Page 1, Column 1
ABSTRACT - Behind the Wheel column discusses newly designed Toyota Camry, best-selling car in America for last four years; photos; chart compares Camry to three other comparable cars (M)

yeah. I looked at all the ads and they seems pretty old. One advertisement(s) I find suspicious could be all those alias comercials and any other ABC shows. After all, we did see that alias logo on the tv in episode 1.

Do they mean even to watch the ads during the show for clues or possibly to watch the ads *for* the show (that air elsewhere) for additional clues?

NOOOOOO!As a professional print and broadcast journalist
I can tell you... Fogeddaboudit! That note at the bottom of the screen is like a
bibliographic annotation in a term paper. Having claimed it was the "gold to platinum standard"
(or whatever it was exactly) the commercial producer
cited the source of that claim about the high quality
of a specific car. In other words, it gave credit for the phrase to
The New York Times -- sort of confirming the source
of an endorsement, sort of like how movie promos
use hyperbolic phrases about the high quality of
their about to be released movie and show the name
of the critic who made the glowing comment! Got it?

I think you're all taking this too far. Come on! A JCPennny Ad where a door says "push"! Sprint and Toyota are the major sponsers for the show but I don't think that they would put any clues in the TV ads. Maybee the internet ads...
