RE: Doctoring Spin with a Sample Ad

["Kahn, David" <KAHN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But isn't Bugs Bunny the smart and lovable character who always gets the
upper hand? And isn't a bad idea to associate the AS/400 with a
tortoise, even a jet powered one? I'm afraid your ad might have the
reverse effect from the one you intend.
