That’s as opposed to “saturation”, the point at which the market has no need or capacity to admit any additional redheads; a situation which exists, as you rightly suggest, in theory only. ---

And to which I would raise no objection, were it ever to come to pass. ---

Perhaps the OP is thinking of Elisabeth Moss (_Mad Men_, _The West Wing_)? The woman in the ad looks a lot like her — at least to me. ---

She reminds me of Sarah Polley, a little bit.

> [@Cayuga](#): > > Perhaps the OP is thinking of Elisabeth Moss (_Mad Men_, _The West Wing_)? The woman in the ad looks a lot like her — at least to me. You know, I kind of agree, especially in the Denver scene. That may be what triggered my “she looks familiar” reaction. So I checked out a bit of Ingrid Haas’s work last night. She is (Was? The website doesn’t seem to exist) half of a musical comedy duo called “Charity and Chastity.” Their material, from what I saw, ranges from sexual double-entendre to out-and-out dirty. They’re adorable, but in a calculated sort of way, and somewhat funny, though the schtick wears thin rather quickly. Ingrid seems to have a quality. I won’t be surprised if we see more of her. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > Why is the man always driving in that commercial? Seems to me it would work better if they alternated, with the passenger singing along with the radio to the annoyance of the driver, until they’re in chorus on the last song. Maybe they preferred the continuity of having the two people sitting in the same places in each scene.
