GRAND SLAM, OR CALLED ON ACCOUNT OF WETNESS?
Dear Friends,
Have you seen the new Mark McGwire public service TV
announcement? Mark is promoting the bed-wetters hotline by
asking you to call and "hit a home run."
1-888-WAKE DRY
I called, and here's what I got:
"Thank you for calling the national kidney foundation." I
then listened to a phone menu of eight choices, but bed-
wetting was not one of the options.
Two years ago, Mark McGwire posed for a milk mustache ad. He
received a $25,000 fee from the National Fluid Milk
Processors for endorsing milk.
Bed-wetting, or enuresis affects an estimated 7 million
children over the age of five. There is a strong correlation
with bed wetting and milk consumption.
McGwire endorses dairy, and seeks to end bed wetting. He
just doesn't get it.
If you know a child who suffers from bedwetting, or if you
know Mark McGwire, perhaps you could share the following
dozen references:
