That is a topic that touches the very fabric of American society and stability.<BR/><BR/>Or, what is it with the Coors marketing department and the usage of sexy twins?<BR/><BR/>Aren't they really endorsing incest? After all, you put attractive women in ads to make guys think about sex, and if you put two women in the advert, the guy is thinking about a threesome, and put two women who are twins, well...? Hello? What is that?<BR/><BR/>And why twins? Is implied sex with twins somehow okay, but normal sisters not? Does looking identical mean it's the same person and not really incest? <BR/><BR/>What's up with that Ann? And do women see the ads the same way, and do they worry about men trying to get them into bed with sexy relatives?<BR/><BR/>That's what Ann should talk about. That, and, what is the cutest or best corporate mascot or character(like the Pillsbury doughboy or the miniature Chuck Wagon). Or what commercials moved you over the years.Finn Alexander Kristiansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393135095699664504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1131767770854206972005-11-11T21:56:00.000-06:002005-11-11T21:56:00.000-06:00Keep on keeping on.Visiting here is like hanging o...Keep on keeping on.<BR/><BR/>Visiting here is like hanging out with the regulars at the local coffee shop or having My Dinner with Andre.PatCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920623662477828662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1131764591370925542005-11-11T21:03:00.000-06:002005-11-11T21:03:00.000-06:00Hey, I forgot to watch "South Park" this week!I'm ...Hey, I forgot to watch "South Park" this week!<BR/><BR/>I'm really glad this comments thread isn't loaded with heavy political topics!

Terrell Owens (seriously, should he have been essentially fired for stupidity?)<BR/><BR/>9. What is the female equivalent of The Three Stooges (what comics/actors do women find hilarious that leave men cold?)<BR/><BR/>8. The size of Simon Cowell's head (you've AI blogged, but avoided this important topic)<BR/><BR/>7. Lesbian Cheerleaders!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>6. Your feelings about Dr. Mitsugu Shuga's claim that you can type a woman's personality by her breast size and shape<BR/><BR/>5. Which fictional character would make a great president?<BR/><BR/>4. Term limits for newspaper columnist, pro or con?<BR/><BR/>3. Squirrels; Furry terrorists, suburban plague carriers, or tools of a secret cabal of nefarious no-good doers out to disrupt the good Professor's sleep and peace of mind?<BR/><BR/>2. Cotton Candy<BR/><BR/>1. Stake your claim and mine the golden nuggets of insight while fighting off claim jumpers regarding your position on the extended use of outdated metaphors.XWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646729965929680256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1131757653515309792005-11-11T19:07:00.000-06:002005-11-11T19:07:00.000-06:00Ann: You may perceive the Althouse Man as being li...Ann: You may perceive the Althouse Man as being like the Gibson Girl, but I don't think that's the tenor of the commenters!
