Default Re: 5 things you didn\'t know about \"A Charlie Brown Christmas.

[ QUOTE ]
Ford's new ad for "Keep It Simple" pricing uses the "Linus and Lucy" song from the Christmas special. A Nov. 24 post on www.autoblog.com says of the ad, "It certainly isn't anything Schulz may have approved of," referring to Charles Schulz, the Peanuts creator. But actually, the first time the Peanuts gang got animated was in 1960 in a TV commercial for the Ford Falcon.

Wow, great job of journalism there, getting that "quote" from that "source".

I guess it won't be long before OOT posts are cited as news sources.

God help us all.

(And who didn't know the teachers voice was a trumpet, or the kids saying the lines couldn't read? I was four when I saw my first and last Peanuts special, and these things were obvious to me. I never understood...how those shows....could be so popular....when every character...took forever....to say...a line of dialogue...because they would stop...for a breath...every few words,...making their speech...sound like a silly....singsong pattern!)
