THE COMPANY YOU KEEP: If You Liked ___, You’ll Love ___ — by Steve Nadis

My latest column appeared online in the local paper today. They say ads are targeted to a certain audience. If you watch cartoons on Fox on Saturday morning, you’ll see ads relating to mindless action. If you rent a sappy love story on DVD, the previews tend to be for romance-related flicks. So what were the ads that went alongside my column? The first one concerned “colon cleansers,” which is a product I don’t know much about but am eager to learn more. The second was for the Mormon Church: “Give Peace Another Chance.” The third said: “Search for Sex Offenders.”

    Well, giving peace another chance and searching for sex offenders are certainly good ideas, as is keeping your digestive system healthy. Maybe it just implies that you have good ideas.

    You always put a nice spin on things, GM, though I noticed that you did not mention the colon cleansers in your remarks. I’d like to see how you spin that.

    Yeah, they could have spared you that.
