...soap in the next." PVI's Holy Grail: customizing insertions using interactive-TV technology--which is still distant and speculative--that would store viewer information (demographic details, even interactive purchases) as Web browsers do. Your TV would figure, Slagle says, "whether you're riper for a Cadillac or a Saturn...

Well, Mo, first you could fly coach, then buy a Saturn instead of driving that customized Mercedes, and shop at the Men's Wearhouse instead of a custom tailor.
