A Blue Rhino?!

Tim:

Thanks for the info. I had never even thought to check for a Vivus web page in the month or so that I've been schlong VVUS.

Why a blue rhino? They should've done a white rhino against a blue background.

Blue has negative connotations for Vivus' industry. Why should the rhino be blue (i.e. depressed)?--If Vivus is universally accepted people will stop killing him for his horn.

Blue also has negative connotations sexually, as in "blue balls".

I'm glad Vivus already has a rhino, but they need to color him "happy". A nationwide Rhino coloring contest in elementary schools would be a sharp PR move.
