	Remember how we had the year of the jean commercial,
the computer commercials, etc...  Well, 1985 was not a banner year
for commercials.  We weren't deluged like past years in any product,
although the commercials were overpopulated by yuppie casts.

	My nomination for the vaguest commercial is the one for
'Popular Club Plan'. I still don't know what or where it is, just that some
women are in an office chatting about shopping.  One says "I'm your faithful
shopping secretary".  What kind of job title is that - a full time
shopper?  She's apparently not too good at describing what she does
nor her products.

	Northern toilet paper - the kid is just obnoxious.
First she kicks (presumably) Mr. Wiffle, now she's stuffing her pants.
