    Since I asked you only one question, but you typed two answers, that means you have a game penalty and I get to expose you to more moral decrepitude. Wheeee! (Damn, I need another vacation.)

    Can you imagine those times? Just nuts. I so miss the salad days of people being just people, and not looking to sue the shit out of everyone else for their failings in life, not taking responsibility for themselves and their own behaviors.

    And look at where we are today, where everyone is afraid of a gummy fritter artificial dye color error, which will give the next ten generations of our children death cancer. Jeez, lighten up Francis! I grew up eating hydrogenized fat solids, and animal fats, in my snack cakes! And I ate a lot of them! My cholesterol levels are fine! Dudes, it is not the foods you eat that cause problems, it is the lifestyle choices and to a lesser degree your genetics!

    Oprah Winfrey said it 30 years ago..."EAT LESS AND EXERCIZE". That is the one truth. Bugger off with all the rest, you might live longer.

    And do you know why this commercial would be banned by the FTC in this day and age? Because a Slinky can now cause cancer, post traumatic stress syndrome when the boy or girl get hair caught in it, metal poisoning (Morgan and Morgan, for the people), audio trauma to the brain due to the sound it makes as it walks down the stairs...Mental trauma as they, as children, cannot figure out how it walks down the stairs, because they do not understand science and just want their free medal for trying to understand things and made a great effort so should be rewarded like The Fonz™...

    And finally, because among all other things, aside from the FTC getting sued, pretty much everyone else in the universe will get sued. It all comes down to money. MONEY MONEY MONEY. SUE SUE SUE. It is free zero risk $$$$$$$$, like the S&P. Someone is going to win in tort, and it may very well be you!

    People were brainwashed though T.V. commercials & films that cigarettes were safe, cool, sexy, hip, he-man, and all that.
