And how will they afford a TV ad? Those can cost up to $100,000 and that's not even including production

Unless you're talking about something that will be played on PBS at 4:00 in the morning

Maybe they can dilute another 50 million shares

I wonder if they will be playing this gem:

Actually, even though the text of these phone conversations is confusing, at best, any doubts a clerk or corporate level manager would have at divulging the future availability of product, can only be traced to the fact that YES that product will eventually be available. THere is no cover-up. I worked in a high-level position at Macys in NYC and I can tell you for certain that I was absolutely forbidden to talk about products which were coming into the shop but which were not yet available. Major runs on things like Cabbage Patch Kids and Teddy Ruxpin (remember him) are just one of the obvious reasons retailers will not divulge. Contractual obligations with the wholesaler (AAPT in this case) are another. AAPT does not want competition (knock-offs) even before the product hits the shelves! The person spoken to at Target probably just about let the cat out of the bag, and should not have.
