   HAHA I love stuff that isn't "Politically Correct". PC is one of the worst things to have plagued this country.

   To stevem and nix224: where did you two get your "superiority complex". I am soooooo sorry I am not "current and up-to-date" like the two of you. I promise to read the news daily and never again post a piece of advertising history that others might find laughable, unless that information has "come off the wire" no more than seconds ago. Get a life, kids.

    Does anyone know from whence came the scourge of political correctness? Ever heard of Donna Shalala, the Secretary of HHS in the Clinton administration? She originated the first speech codes and sensitivity training when she was the chancelor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
