GG> "McDonalds: Come hungry. Leave stuffed."

 GG> I expect about the time the movie Space Jam is released for
 GG> theatres in Oz, we'll be seeing the same commercial for stuffed
 GG> Warner Brothers characters that they're currently selling to
 GG> promote the movie. The above line has Michael Jordon shoving a
 GG> bunch of the stuffed animals towards the camera. I just wanna
 GG> hear what the Oz version is dubbed to say at the end.

  He, he, he. There was a time when all commercials shown on
Australian TV had to be made in Australia, but now they just dub the
yank versions. Someone is going to make an awful mistake one day...
and I look forward to it.

 BL> Or Magic Johnson: "I got stuffed at McDonalds, but then I got
 BL> AIDS and now I'm really stuffed."

 GG> I've never been into sports, but went through a time in high
 GG> school where basketball interested me. At the time, Magic was
 GG> playing for Michigan State, and I recall watching him when he
 GG> was "going to be someone". At the time, he was just a good
 GG> college basketball player. He doesn't have AIDS though, he just
 GG> has (or had) the HIV virus. If he had developed AIDS when he
 GG> was diagnosed with the virus, he'd be dead by now.

  At last count there were 10 million people with AIDS and 10 of them
did not convert. The average lifespan is 5 years, clowy improving
towards 20 years. He could be lucky if he is really Magic, but I would
not give him a snowball's chance in hell of seeing the year 2000. The
only ones who (or had) HIV are the dead ones.

 GG> OR..... just like Michael Jackson can buy a way to get married
 GG> in Sydney without the 30 day wait, the world has also witnessed
 GG> what else money can buy that others can't.

  I saw an interesting figure for medical research in the USA. On a
"per-death" basis, the USA spends $37,000 on AIDS $3,000 on cancer and
$1,000 on heart disease. You can see where the money (and the Media)
is in the USA... all prancing about like Michael's minkey.
