At a dramatic moment in
her autobiography, June Havoc describes herself as being "
owl-eyed and frightened." If you know me at all, which you don't, you know why I am compelled to tell you this (see previous "hyperlink"). But it's not much, is it? So as long as I am here, it has been too long since I was
upset by a TV commercial. I've seen one recently in which Charlie the
Tuna, the mascot of Starkist brand tuna products, boasts of having branched out into the
chicken business. He announces a chicken product which has, quote, "the look and texture" of his tuna. Often have I pondered, listening to Charlie the Tuna's pitch, how it is a selling point.
