You think that's bad Kat, I was on a local kids show called "Blinky's Fun
Club" here in Denver when I was a kid.  Once was when I had just turned 8
years old and the other was for a Christmas edition of the show.

Blinky, a clown on the show, always seemed to promote the Shriners and their
hospitals.   I just hate it when they refer to us being "crippled".

Just my $.02 worth.....Cheers for now everyone  :-)
