Writing on The Wall

by ANDY GLENDINNING

Andy's Most Recent Ponder

Whatever happened to those great commercials they had when I was little? Like the one where some guy is asking kids on a playground how they get the cream filling into a Twinkie. "It's just born there!" Now we have to put up with those strange foreign commercials like the ones for Mentos or Storch Chocolate Riesen.

This trend towards the use of non-domestic commercials is contributing heavily to the decline of American values. Would you seriously want your daughters thinking that, as long as they're chewing Mentos they can rip the heels off of their high-heeled shoes, and the man of their dreams will somehow find them endearingly amusing? How do good, wholesome American values get instilled in our children? I say, "They're just born there!"

If anything here sparks an interest, if you want to tell me something, or if you just want to tell me off...
