He says that they regularly get letters from people blasting them because their cow spokes"people" can't spell.<BR/>http://www.chickfilapressroom.com/eatmorchikin.asp<BR/>So I guess your "beef" about the beverage commercial isn't that out of line.<BR/>LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-1166304457566319242006-12-16T16:27:00.000-05:002006-12-16T16:27:00.000-05:00Want to be part of a THANK YOU card for Miss Snark...Want to be part of a THANK YOU card for Miss Snark? <BR/><BR/>Return a picture of yourself if possible, and no more than seven words to:<BR/><BR/>redheartnovels@lesiavalentine.com<BR/><BR/>A lot of us are getting hit with the clue gun and I have no doubt I will be one of them, but <BR/><BR/>I’M STILL GRATEFUL TO HER!

Whereas coke drinking polar bears are a documentary. :-) Yup. Okay, you are making me wonder why one bothers me and the other doesn't...<BR/><BR/>Maybe I don't think any kid is going to believe, for long, that spiders can talk or spell... Certainly no adults will. <BR/>Similarly, no kid or adult will believe that polar bears or penguins drink carbonated, over-caffienated, sugar beverages... But I really think seeing polar bears and penguins together just spreads ignorance. That part isn't the obvious "cartoon" part. And the idea that I can affect your share price? You made me smile. I wish. (not that your shares will go down... just that more than 10 people will ever read this blog entry... okay, maybe 30 or 40.) :-)Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-1166224280182998942006-12-15T18:11:00.000-05:002006-12-15T18:11:00.000-05:00It's amazing what people will believe and glean fr...It's amazing what people will believe and glean from TV. Remember, and I can't remember his name, the US senator (I think), that said Murphy Brown was corrupt for having a baby out of wed lock.<BR/><BR/>My friend is a third grade teacher and some of the stuff the kids will write about that they get from TV and believe is mind blowing. She told me once that a child wrote that Inuit eat Eskimos.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Maia, I hate the beavers too. And being from the North, I wouldn't want to be near a Polar Bear regardless of what he was drinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-1166223641598365602006-12-15T18:00:00.000-05:002006-12-15T18:00:00.000-05:00Maureen,Stop messing with my stock price.

While we're on stupid ad campaigns, what about those beavers for Bell? I can't stand the sight of those overweight marsupials with attitude. They aren't cute Bell! They're irritating. Okay, I'm feeling better now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
