Thanks for the heads-up

I noticed on another board that someone said the trailer had been shown during "The West Wing." Fortunately, I had taped that show last night. I just got finished finding the trailer. (If any one else happens to have "The West Wing" on tape, the trailer is the first commercial after the opening titles and theme.)
The scene Jim describes shows HJO standing in the shallow end of a swimming pool, surrounded by four or five other boys around his age. The other boys obviously know he is a robot, and one touches the skin on HJO's chest and says something like, "Feel it! It seems so real! Weird!" The boys all laugh, and then HJO joins in, a moment behind the others. However, his laugh has an artificial timbre to it, a bit of a false tone.
All the boys are wearing saggy-baggy swim trunks (sorry!).
If you missed it, I'm sure this ad will be shown many, many times before the film is released at the end of June.

P.S. It occurs to me that all the publicity for A.I. simply HAS to inspire whoever owns the rights to "D.A.R.Y.L." to issue a DVD. I mean, if there is a GOD!
