Imagine a television commercial...not in prime time but not at 3AM either:

The announcer comes on extolling the virtues of this "new" handbag for the ladies--lots of pockets, an adjustable strap, zippers inside for your small items, etc.

And then, in an hyper-excited voice-- "the best thing of all about this bag...it's genuine faux leather!! For only $19.95!"

I wonder, in passing, how many here have actually seen an adult faux in the wild?

I saw that commercial. I remember it clearly. It changed my life in a small way.
