>> I do feel it is important to cut the BS and see the industry and substance for what it really is. << I've got no problem with that. What I find interesting is the symbolism involved in alcohol related advertising. Like the Chrysler building bending over to have a drink. My intrepretation is that the Chrysler Building stands for corporate america, the working class (through the building of automobiles), a staunch pillar, an icon, a "risen from the ashes" like Phoenix, yet bending over when nothing else has been able to make it bend, for a drink of beer. Like even the toughest, strongest need a drink every now and then. Wierd interpretation? I don't know. Its what I see. And I suppose there are alot of people who would like to relate to that message, consciously or otherwise. I don't drink beer unless I'm in Germany or England so it doesn't have a real influence on me. <g> -JE
