Ed doesnt eat pasta?

Would he be bored if he did?

:hmm: That reminds me, I haven't had pasta in years.
WTF?  :wacko:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yeah I can see how that might be considered very bizzare
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

I recently saw a Cheerios ad where the kid had a white mom and a black dad(who she poured Cheerios on while he was napping on couch). Offhand, I can't remember any other commercials(for white bread products) which featured inter-racial couples.

Saw my first Asian-White couple in an ad the other day.  Can't remember what it was for.

Was that the one where she has his picture/painting upside down?

Quote"For us the concept of the sacred family remains one of the basic values of the company," he told Italian radio on Wednesday evening. "I would not do it but not out of a lack of respect for homosexuals who have the right to do what they want without bothering others ... [but] I don't see things like they do and I think the family that we speak to is a classic family."


My God, the nerve of that private company. Truely shameful.



























not really. Get over it Nancy-Boys. :rolleyes:

I would think something like a pasta company wouldn't even enter battle in the culture wars. What's the upside for their business?

Maybe 11B4V, we have very different ideas on what a private company should aim to do.
