>>>OK. Had to go back and review what I had covered.
>>>Sonofabitch!!! I'm trying to listen to Limbaugh as I
>>>type this and there's that damn "what would you do if
>>>you had to choose between... Bla Bla Bla." So I turn
>>>off the volume and two min. later I turn it back up
>>>and there's this dopey girl teenager "When I'm on

>>>I get dizzy, my heart beats faster, My breath comes

>>>gasps...Bla Bla Bla.." then the deadly serious male
>>>voice comes on. "Tina is under the influence

>>>Brother/Big sister org..Bla Bla Bla" so I turn it
>>>off again and when I turn it back up Limbaugh is
>>>already in mid sentence...He had just told the old
>>>Churchhill(Winston not Ward)joke about the

>>>replies, "Madam, if you were my wife I would drink
>>>it". (quick break)

>>The utter rediculousness of the ads are saddening...
>>Now there's the "Mom, my tooth just fell out"...."Mom,
>>the coach said I could play shortstop." (serious male
>>voice) "You live for your childs ""firsts"", but how
>>do you deal with the first time you learn your child
>>has cancer..Bla Bla Bla". As in the "Loop one bunny

>>could buy it, but they are targeting adults. The whole
>>"bunny" thing is too long to post here but the point

She was caught on video tape... she put a "whalin'" on that youngun's ass.... I think they ought to give her a job in the "creative parenting" bureau. Don't even ask me what I'd do with the kid who knocked the school marm in the head... it would undoubtedly be felonious as well... But it would be a "public service" that the ad council wouldn't like. mg
