Seeing is believing. Just watching this strong dog was so riveting, I thought I’d share this clip, even though…ahem…Montel….*sigh.* Many reasons not to watch; only one reason to watch – the dog.

In honor of love-thy-dog week… What? It’s not love-they-dog week? Wellllll…. I’m thinking it’s always love-they-dog week. It was a trick statement. This is pretty amazing!

For the most part, television shows have been beholden to the advertisers. Now, the lines aren’t just blurring farther; they’re becoming one in the same.

Actor, caveman and former Kansas Citian John Lehr features his Geiko spots on his Web site, as well as his cosmetic transformation from actor into character for the ads.
