I never liked this ad. For one thing, the girl on the blanket is a total bitch. For another, the "bully" is really quite compassionate. He never actually hits "Mac". He would LIKE to hit him (who wouldn't) but he's afraid he might hurt the little feller. Then "Mac's" humiliation sends him into a psychotic rage in which he destroys his own furniture. Finally, the "bully's" punishment doesn't really fit his crime, does it? "Mac" just walks up, totally unprovoked, and pops him one in the chops. Frankly, the whole thing seems rather gay.

You're applying today's logic to a comic book ad that first appeared in the 50s, or perhaps the 40s.
Get over it.

I'd complain about the set-lists and ticket prices and then ask him to bring MT back.

I know it's early here--but I don't get CindyC's remark about putting the lotion in the basket. Help?

I'm uncertain as well. Bags, baskets, sacks; metaphors that are tricky to identify.
