I responded with a history of this lie, and some evidence against it. --clh] I remember seeing this either in 1984 or 1985. Except for the 1990 date on this recent copy, everything else seems to be the same. Same Donahue show. Same encouragement to stop buying P&G. Also, I seem to remember people making connections between the P&G logo (it has a crescent moon and stars) and Satanism. It's all a lot of bunk for gullible people who have nothing better to do than soak in some useless rumors. Marc Chamberland [Yup. That was the last outbreak. Sounds a lot like the yearly claim that somebody has petitioned the FCC to prohibit Christmas programming. Complete with a supposed FCC petition number. But false. --clh]
