Its something that you have been ranking on for years and I also feel that it is in very poor taste because you produce a competing product. Please, I beg of you, produce an original and up-to-date tagline (yes, Caligari is on the market). I'd hate to see such a FUNNY guy have to use such STALE, WORN OUT ideas.
