Fox Sports has a Navy recruiting PSA running during the World Series,
showing the exciting world of fighter jets and carriers, a huge American
flag billowing in the background, and the soundtrack blaring out...  "The
Flying Dutchman" overture.

Note to the Fox Cultural Department: the Flying Dutchman did *not* have
a fun time on the high seas.  He didn't even try to be all he could be
(which, of course, is the recruiting promise from another service branch).
