Pepsi One Commercial

[Patricia Copelin <n2books@EROLS.COM>]

Hello All,

As I watched TV the other day, I was appalled by the Pepsi One
commercial. Have any of you seen it??

This is my take on what I saw.  A young lady appeared to be hiding in
the stacks at the library.  A young man scares her and then asks her to
taste the Pepsi One.  She does--says it's good, or something like that.
The commercial then ends with the announcer saying that Pepsi One is now
available at the fountain.  At the same time, this same young man has
his mouth open and drinking the Pepsi as if he was at a water fountain.

I was thoroughly disgusted.  Is it me?  Is it now appropriate to say to
the public that it's o.k. (1)to hide in the stacks, (2)have food in the
library, (3)play games in the library, (4)drink from the soda fountain
as if it is a water fountain?????

IMHO, this commercial has underminded all rules that librarians have
tried to instill in children.  Am I reading too much into this?  If I
am, then, it must be time for me to retire. What's your take???
