Do you remember the old Carlin bit " Pop a Chocks! " I took

Chocks vitamins as a kid. Happy Feet is a kids' movie, of course.

Sponsored by Roche. Crazy, crazy, crazy.

The first time I saw those cute little penguins was a commercial for

Flu facts. I hadn't even heard about the movie yet. I eventually

figured out it was a movie. Pretty slick marketing.

My daughter brought her lunch menu home in November and it was Happy

Feet/Flu facts advertising on the back.

I kind of remember the slogan " Pop a Chocks " ..I took Flinstones

vitamins. One I ate a whole bottle of them at one time. You know they

had different flavors and shapes of the different characters. Don't

ask me why I did that...I don't even remember getting sick from them

or anything.

I just saw

an ad for Roche pharmaceuticals “Flu Facts” on Nick TV Land,

complete with dancing penguins. Here’s your popcorn, your Junior

Mints and a sample of our anti-viral flu medicine!

Enjoy the movie.

What’s

next “Ask your Mommy for a

Varivax” on Barney? Pharmaceutical companies advertising to

children? A new low. A new low.

Makes a great batch of TaterTits.

I'm 37 and in 6th grade I remember having little dixie cups of

fluoride. It was some type of special program. I only remember doing

it in that one classroom. I don't know if it was given to everyone in

the school, or just 6th graders. Love being a guinea pig.

Thinking about it, I probably prefer being one of those hamsters in a cage running constantly on a metal wheel.

That's how I live my life.

It wasn’t just your grade or your

school. We had the same crap for years in california. My daughter brought home a

paper from kindergarten – and each subsequent year – to participate

in the program. We refused of course.

I can recite ALL the naughty words quite quickly, but you'll have to

just trust me on that one. I do have a reputation to maintain you

know. S,P,F,C,CS,MF,T... And that's all I'm saying. I'm off to

listen to the Hippy Dippy weatherman on Wonderful WINO......

And the youth today think Rock is the funniest thing ever?

Nothing beat GC on a turntable sneaking a listen while your folks were

out of the house! And I'm sure Lenny remembers the Herb Alpert Taste

of Honey album cover. That'll foam your latte, eh?

Enough strolling down the memory lane of my childhood in the 70's, I

promise.

My Bella is starting to use words (DMPS) and I'm giddy, I admit it.

Gardisil is marketing to the

teenager. It’s like a repeat of the Nike “Strong Woman”

campaign for teenagers. The commercial has teenagers playing all sorts of

sports, showing independent teens and young woman. Do it, get the

vaccine!! At 1st the campaign just started with commercials

talking about HPV and talk to your Dr. Now they are more blatant, get to

your Dr. for the vaccine! Side effects of course revolve around the

injection sight. Sick! -

The original tagline for Garadsil was nixed: " No F'ing Warts! " The

theme song remains " 100 STD's on the wall, 100 STD's! You get one

three shots, they cost a lot, 99 STD's on the wall. "

Thank you, thank you very much. I'll appearing at the Concorde next

week.

Our school district is doing " phase two " of flumist, the goal is 70%

compliance. They send home a fact sheet, followed by a medical release

where you sign that you've had an opportunity to ask questions,

understand the risks, blah, blah. It's pathetic. I thought about

sending it back with every contraindication marked as having,

then striking out the part about having the opportunity to ask

questions, but I was too afraid they might do it anyway.

Sad thing is, we have over 40 kids who don't speak English at that

school. No telling how many more do but their parents don't.
