2. BTW I'm boycotting them, and amd TRYING to send them a nasty
letter, can't tell if their email is working.

Join me:



"I am offended at the current campaign your website is promoting. I am offended at your innuendo that our current, legally elected Governor is a 'chicken'. I am offended at the partisan tone, to whit, that you're favoring republican policies and the current hostile takeover of California by GOP interests. I will NOT be patronizing Taco Bell ever again, and will share this with my friends, co-workers and families.

XXX XXX XXX"

4. That's really bad...
however, the WORST I ever saw was a billboard in Cincinnati for the Shriner's Burn Institute. It said "EXPERT FREE treatment of burn victims". Just like that. The way I read it was *Expert-free treatment*, not *Expert, free treatment*. I nearly wrecked my car every morning laughing at that stupid billboard, but then again, some say I ain't quite right, so maybe it's just me...
:silly:

5. No, the worst was a couple of years ago
when Bank of NorthCarolinaImeanAmerica had a contest where the winner would get to go into an ATM and grab as much money as they could. Silly me, I remember when banks were boring.

6. They did this at Friendly's during the 96 election....
Problem was, the better sundae was considered a vote for the GOP.
