Line Men

This is not really about sports, but it is about a commercial aired several times during the Super Bowl, so I figure it is fair game. Apparently the TV show "Chuck" (I have never seen it) is doing an episode in 3-D. In the commercial for it they show two of the characters and then talk about how it is going to be in 3-D and then the characters morph into what you think will be some sort of 3-D rendering of themselves, but instead is a flat rendering. The characters look like cardboard cutouts. Then one of the characters says something to the effect of, "c'mon, we're suppose to be in 3-D, not 1-D." Huh... 1-D? Does nobody who worked on this commercial, which aired on the biggest stage possible, have even a vague concept of spatial dimensions? They have obviously never read Edwin Abbott's novella "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions."
