    What a Maroon!

    And a Maroon is?

    Cathy

    It's an allusion to a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs said, of a moron,
    "What a maroon".

    Of course, Bugs may have been talking about a Queensland State of
    Origin player. (I apologise to non-Australians for that bit of
    cultural relativity.)

    George, why do you post horseshit like this? Are you REALLY that
    stupid? (Well, maybe you are.)

    It was on TV, so it must be true? Is that what you're claiming?
    Even though it was part of an ad for a quack therapy?

    I saw the George Foreman Grill advertised on Television. It works.
    And, I bought one at Wal-Mart. So, what is your point, Dork?

    Oh, I'm sorry -- I wasn't addressing you, but I should have realized
    that such comprehension would be beyond your severely limited
    intellect. I meant that George seems to believe anything he sees on
    TV, as long as it supports his bias against milk. The source is
    irrelevant. I hope that clears it up for you.

    Topic: 7 Day Miracle Cleanse www.7dmc.com

    I saw a TV info-commerical program for the 7 Day Miracle Cleanse program.
    The program talked the need for a parasite and colon cleanse.

    At the bottom of the TV screen, there was a scrolling "ticker" with words
    like:

    "Cow's milk is for baby calves"
    "Human mother's milk is for baby infants"
    "50% of people with allergies have a negative re-action toward dairy
    products"

    Hey Jackass,

    This is a science\medicine\nutrition ng. It is not a TV
    commercial\poplular culture\[censored] ng. If you want to post [censored] like
    this go someplace else.

    "This" is cross-posted to misc.health.alternative, sci.med.nutrition,
    and alt.health.

    And a Maroon is?

    Cathy

    "What a Maroon" is a quote . . . a frequent exclamation of Warner Brothers'
    Bugs Bunny. I have no idea what a "Maroon" is, though. You'd have to ask
    Bugs.

    One suspects a deliberate mispronounciation of "moron," however.

    TV is not a medium that is known for accuracy. And infomercials are known
    for stretching the truth. They often include testimonials, which have
    about
    zero accuracy.

    In other words, the usefulness of information in informercials is about
    zero.

    The usefulness of information in your post is zero.

    One word says it all, informercial.
