Question I believe everything I read in the news

Thanks for the link to that interesting article Skip. Good stuff but they still don't name the person that got Lake Winnipesaukee included in the commercial.

Big Kahuna: Do you follow the CLEO's? Any other spots you have written or had some influence? Any idea how many ads were spec'ed for this AMEX campaign? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ellen stepping out of any water and Flaming... ... maybe I should keep my comments on that to myself...

Curly and the Three Stooges: I remember the Lake Winnipesaukee episode and it still brings a big grin. Hey it's not just Curly that has trouble with the spelling. I'll let the forum spell checker "fix" the full name of Winnie here: Winnipeg. Even though I spelled it correctly spell checker "fixed it" to what you see - and the several other correct spelling suggestions were interesting and included "winemaker" and "winooski". Heck, even some forum users get to our main page by typing http://Lake.cc instead of spelling Winnipesaukee.com.

I even remember an older forum thread which included many different "correct" spellings for the Lake.

By the way, I'm sure Airwaves and a few others will agree that we always believe what we hear and read in the news (when we want to ). I'm not sure I can tell tales of someone (like me) fabricating news stories to see if other media outlets (like radio stations) were "borrowing" stories without giving credit. Is there an RSA with a statute of limitations on broadcasting "false information"? I believe what I read in RSAs more than I do with everything I read/hear in the news.

excusing the law is ignorant
