• Ethan sends along word that NBC (and presumably other stations as well) are running a new ad for the PT Cruiser, a Chrysler car. In it, a man is faced by the Devil come to take his soul, played by J.G. Hertzler (General Martok). The man tries to buy his way out of hell by offering the Devil all of his possesstions, to which the Devil say "I've done it all - seen it all." The man then holds out the key to his PT Cruiser. The Devil goes for a joyride, only to be pulled over by the cops.
