Sept. 11 - Never forget to save on a new mattress

I think there's a difference somehow in using it to sell things. That may not make sense intellectually, but I think there's something in people's guts that makes that the point of no return.

 

It's all in the delivery, too. "The Onion" got away with making jokes about 9/11 within days, because it didn't just indiscriminately make sight gags about it. There was a method behind it, as with "Animal House."

 

I guess I just remember Gorilla Monsoon calling a surprise attack in the WWF "a Pearl Harbor job" and it not being something people got in a twist over.

 

You could well be right.

 

One more memory. The next day, Patriots guard Joe Andruzzi came out for a press conference. Every male in his family except him had or was an NYC cop or firefighter. None of his family died, but of course many friends of his parents, brothers and sisters, etc, did. He was very The shaken but talked to us for at least a half hour about what he'd heard from his family. Then, at the end of his remarks, tearing up (he wasn't the only one) he said "Don't worry guys, we'll get through this."
Never before and never for the rest of my career did I hear a professional athlete call the media "we."

And I don't see ANY HOLES on that doll. WTF?

 

It identifies as gender-neutral.
