Cleveland, Ohio Lines: 34 I think I have a solution to one of this country's biggest problems, too many lovable little commercial items. In answer to this deluge of little stuffed critters I would like to propose the 'Crucify a Cute Commercial Character Of The Month Club'. During the first week of every month Feb. Mar. & Apr. I will take nominations by mail for the character(s) that should be crucified that month. Some time during the following week I will report the three characters that received the most nominations on a ballot in this news group. During the third week I will accept mail voting on the character out of the three that should be crucified that month. Then I will announce the results in the last week of the month and we can officially declare that thing CRUCIFIED. I would like to open the nominations with The Cabbage Patch Kids. Other nominations might be Smurfs, Strawberry Shortcake, Garfield, The Care Bears. To join the CCCCOTMC all you have to do is vote for the CCCCOTM. Please send all comments,suggestions, and nominations to me. Ryan McGuire (the rm of rrrm) P.S. If anyone out there is any good at computer art, I would like to have a picture of the monthly winners in some form of torture.
