After aIl, we've al beard about soutbern hospiality ... even ber promo material encouragyed audience participation', so we'd bate for Bunny to have arrved at Hooterville without any fanfare, trumpets blaring, or flags haling * triumpbantly on great masts! It's been sucb a cold, snowy, long winter, tbat Bunny's visit will surely have been a welcome distraction for those groucby bears at home wbo are tired of heaving snow, and tired of the mediocre performance of the Maple Leafs, and whose Jays stili appear to be in hibernation.

Television Commercials To some, tbey're perfect obstacles to use to "catch a few 222's" before the conclusion of Beverly Hilîs 90210 returns, and to others, they're the best tirne to return to the kitchen te "scope eut tbe fridge". What are tbese common known time killers best referred to as? Yes, television commercials. It used to be, back .in the early days of television, common to see a guy standing against a stage curtain advertising dish soap or window cleaner. But nowadays, commercials have proved te the viewing public, that they are there not only to advertise, but to entertain aIse. Not to long ago, commercials used to pester and rather annoy those wbo were waiting te see the climax of "Matlock, but came up short after watching the program alter te a Tampax' ad where you're sure to see the young girl talk to ber mother about "why she doesn't feel fresh, even after a shower!

Others bave turned te these commercials as a source of humer. For example, the one with the compulsive laugbter listening te the walkman in the elevator full of people may not appear te be as funny unless one pays close attention te bis "lack of bladder control", and the darkening of bis pants near the upper leg region. Then it becomes funny. But imost of the time, commercials take tbings te far. Just when you've gotten in te watcbing the T.V. version of "The Amy Fisher Stoiy", your interest is scattered ever the sight of a McDonald's commercial.
