This wireless ditigtal music system showed up on BoingBoing this morning with a glowing review. I couldn’t buy it right now, but I’ll keep it in mind for the future.

So Agency.com posted a Youtube video of their “pitch” for Subway, which is tired and lame. (don’t watch the whole thing-it doesn’t get any better.)
