Hey this is cool.  A local company has figured out how to take digital

This is great!  My local gas station has a video screen above the pump on
which they play ads as you gas up your Detroit, but the ads are so lame.  If
they could figure out from my digital image that I am a male geek, they
would for instance flash boobs at me.  Then they have my full and undivided.
Then I all need to do is come up with a good explanation for when my wife
sees I have 87 charges on my credit card from the gas station, all between
one and two dollars.
