  I am not a vegetarian, but having that t-bone steak as my background screen really grosses me out.  I can't imagine how off-putting it would be if you were a vegetarian.

  Made me feel quite queasy when I logged on at 7.30 this morning. I can barely face a bowl of cornflakes at that time.

  I use SteakHouse brand charcoal briquets and Char-Broil grill products. That steak would look better if it was cooked using a Char-Broil grill product instead.

  I imagine WGT got paid handsomely by the advertiser for a full screen ad. It is grilling week and the ad will most likely come down after the weekend is over.
