Amber says: Sad!!

Okay, I do have a few things to say other than just "Sad". First, there is a 'Motion Picture and Television Fund Hospital'? Craziness.

Also, I think Mr. Clean was an awesome product to try to sell in the 50's. I mean, I am surprised that with a name like "Mister Clean" the product sold/ made it in the 50's. In the era of women wearing heels and pearls, and serving a platter of roast beef and potatoes with a smile and a curtsy- the women ruled the household and the men sat around... and a product with a name implying that the "Mister" did the cleaning. Amazing. I blame "Mr. Clean" for the working woman/ stay-at-home dad. :-) I mean, I have nothing against the women that want to work- and my dad was a stay-at-home dad! but I would totally make it as the woman in an apron with flour on her nose. In fact, Id prefer that.

Ramble over. RIP Mr. Clean.
