Many years ago the Chicago Sun-Times would routinely draw bra-straps over the backs of ladies in movie ads. The problem came when an ad for an Icelandic Viking movie named in the US Hagbard and Signe. The intrepid couple is shown embracing without shirts on their bed, so the paper drew in the bra-strap. On Hagbard, the Viking warrior, not Signe, his comely sweetheart. Of course they both had long hair and were blond, so the mistake is perhaps understandable.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
