		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;I agree with Mike M. above except that Spot Runner says on its own web site that it charges more than the traditional agency 15%.  Spotrunner may typically charge additional commissions and fees above a regular agency commission - like in some cases 100% more.  So your so-called $500 ad can wind up costing $10,000!  Looks like P.T. Barnum was right. The closest Grouf ever got to cheap TV spots is when he used the real CheapTVSpots online agency&#039;s trade name for his own Businessweek VNR.  A cheap shot that may have already cost him and his investors 200 million.  Template based screw-it-up-yourself recycled ads are a fad anyway.  R.I.P. Spot Runner.&lt;/p&gt;
