Walter and list,
On the tv show,Politically Incorrect, on ABC, the guests were commenting
on the bowl's commercials. Ricky Schroeder said he thought the Reeves'
commercial was in good taste and was a positive attempt to highlight the
promise of investing to make $$$ that could then be used to promote spinal
cord injury research. I agree.
Mohammed Ali's commercial was more subtle. A website or url that gives
medical/health information was revealed at the end. The implication was
that Ali was working hard to be sure he had the information he needs to
best understand and promote his own health.
I hope some of these bowl commercials will still be on tv for awhile. Did
you notice the large amount of ads that were for Internet companies? A
sign of the times.

Hot dawg! My thinking is right on the money! Did
you all see the visual commercial shown during
the Super Bowl game. Christopher Reeves got out
of his wheelchair and walked. Well not actually. It
was faked by technology, in an ad paid for by an
Investment Company. Reeves sees it as a win-win
proposition for both Spinal cord research, and as
publicity for the Investment company which picked
up the tab. How very American, hyping research
within the turf of hyped money making sport.
Fascinating!
