Lee<<PS: Do you thank we cud git enyone to cary such a PR?>> Are you kidding? Have you seen the stuff the 'news' services will pump on the net for a few bucks? We can claim our company is going to be worth billions in a few years without ever having made a dime. They will put out any press release we can come up with and not blink an eye, as long as it is not an April Fools joke. Druss

SI Midnight Rag Group protests adds for 'Drill Sergeant' A group calling themselves Citizens for Clean Advertising (CCA) is protesting the television ads for Drill Sergeant erectile treatment. The ads depict a couple laying on a disheveled bed with a sheet barely hiding their nudity. The couple look and each other and then share a long smile and say in unison "Thanks Drill Sergeant!" The scene switches to a Marine drill sergeant who casually salutes them and says to the camera, "When you want some close order drilling of your own, see me." A CCA spokes person Miss Patricia Carver says the ad is lurid and without socially redeeming features. She indicates CCA is planning to start a national boycott of Placebo Power Unlocked Potential Inc. the company manufacturing Drill Sergeant. CEO Druss of Placebo Power had the following statement: "Why should we care if they boycott it? What an uptight bunch of jerks. Do they think we should have shot the ad in a church? These people need to face it. What do they think people are buying this stuff to generate? And the guys getting them aren't doing it because they want to walk around with a good bulge. Miss Patricia Carver should change her name to Prudence Pureheart. Tell her I'll send her a case of Drill Sergeant on the house. Sounds like she needs some big time. In the mean time the only use I have for her is if I need a blood transfusion. She ought to have the safest blood in the country, I'll bet she has never had any."
