I don't see why anyone is picking on Alan Alda for doing commercials. Why
does he have to live up to some "higher" standards. Did anyone complain
about William Shatner selling Vic-20 computers (or about featuring it as an
antique in a Star Trek movie). The original article even made "fun" of Alda
for removing sexism from the Ads!!! Is this bad?

In any case, why was the original article also posted to net.singles? I
think the author was just unhappy about Alda doing ANYTHING but MASH (or
maybe is upset about him not doing AfterMash).
