I always found the Charlie the Tuna commercials to be kinda weird... fish with a death wish - I always thought they shoulda just chopped him up and turned him into cat food. Put him out of his misery or put him on some anti-depressants or something.

 Re: Charlie the Tuna
there is a shop near me that has old charlie tuna stuff, including a weird old lamp. I wondered how a tuna lamp would look in someone's living room....

 Re: Charlie the Tuna
I have never seen so many shops for vintage American characters toys as I saw in Japan in 1998...
