Well, OK, I guess it is an American thing.

It's just this: some of the Geico (insurance) commercials have a catch phrase: "So easy a caveman could do it."

If you pervert the meaning of "do" to imply "screw," Peptron's meaning should be clear: HPDs are like Geico because any low-life can screw them.

(whew)

Although, I note that Peptron is in Canada!

Yeah, but I'm from the Schizoid Personality Disorder forum, which implies that I am aware of any and all Internet memes from being such a social outcast. :wink:

Eh... I'm not "that" bad. At least I live on my own and have a job. A somewhat nice salary too. I'm a programmer. I do have a life, though it doesn't involve a lot of other people...

I started to figure out that Geico was strictly American (or at least not in Aust). I didn't think of Wikipeida, but then my interest wasn't piqued enough to spend more time on it.

Thanks for the commercial links, but since I haven't watched commercial TV for the best part of 2 years I'm hardly going to sit in front of my computer and click on them specifically.

Thanks for the explanation....and yeah, I get it.... :)
