I think Marvin's onto something here. I'd noticed this as well, although
I hadn't quite realized that what was causing it.

The suggestion to generate a movie using a few frames displacement from
one of these commercials is interesting also. The effect *should* be
quite pronounced, considering how strong it is only on a flat tv screen.

Thanks
