I understand your concern about the Windex commercial with the bird who =
flies into the window. I certainly fear for our birds, but how can we =
regulate comedy?  The Disney megahit animated movie, Finding Nemo, also =
has a running joke of a bird (pelican) smashing into a window.  A =
current Budweiser Light commercial has a bird smash into a window, as =
well as humans.  In slapstick comedy, humans and animals regularly are =
in faux situations of danger to life and limb.  What about Wile E. =

  Thanks for the input.  I didn't realize this had been aired before =
because
I do not keep a TV at home, and the *only* reason that commercial made =
it
into my consciousness is because it had birds in it!

  But seriously...regardless of when they originally aired that =
commercial,
I still think Audubon needs to respond.  As a matter of fact, I'm =
sending
out the "APB" to the companion bird forum I run right now to request all
350+ members to stampede SCJW with complaints.
