Teaching our Children

With all this talk about the "meaning" of Christmas and what we're teaching our children, either in the true Christian meaning of Christmas or the all-encompassing meaning of the kwanza, judeo-christian-roman-celtic meaning of the re-birth of solstice,we all missed the one main politically-unencumbered salient point.

HAS ANYONE FIGURED OUT WHAT IS INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE COCA-COLA POLAR BEAR///PENGUIN AD??????

There is an old riddle that will give you a clue.....If you are living in a house and all of the windows face south...what color is the bear?

WHITE!!!!

WHY??? Because Polar Bears live in the arctic circle....and penguins????

Yup, Antarctic....

So if I see that baby polar bear slide down that hill one more time to the Wilson brothers into the penguins' beach party, I'm gonna' scream -

Stop worrying about the true meaning of Christmas and start worrying about basic geography people!!! What the f&#@ are you teaching your children???

I'm sure this sprang from the same minds that came up with the movie "Double Jeopardy" whose entire plot turned on a legal fallacy even people who repeat “Bloody Mary” three times in the bathroom mirror found it ridiculous.

But, to be honest, I didn’t think about the geographical problem as much as wondering, “Don’t polar bears eat penguins?” I guess not. But if they did, they would wash them down with a Coke, that’s for sure.

Perhaps what we have here is a bipolar penguin.

Just give the damn bear a Diet Coke and he'll love you forever. ;)
