Gerber baby

gerber baby 2.jpgI was just clicking through the top 25 ad icons of all time and was most interested in #18, the Gerber baby.

I had always heard she was Brooke Shields.

A Google search confirmed I didn't invent that, as a snip from BecomeABabyModel.com reads:

But she wasn't. Here's more...

Comments:

After all, that face has come to represent Gerber's commitment to happy, healthy babies all over the world.

I wonder if Gerber would insert the word "wanted" after "happy" and "healthy" for political correctness today.

Quote of the Day: ....HT: lifesitenews.com: Abortion Activists Vow to Harass Pilgrims, Distribute Condoms at World Youth Day ( They will be handed out in an attempt to protest the Pope's unwavering opposition to abortion, contraception and homosexuality.).

Wow! What a waste of condoms that could be distributed to poor nations around the world! I hope they hire extra custodians to sweep up the extra trash in the streets. I doubt the Pope will notice.

Janet: these creeps showed up for WYD 2000 in Rome and did the same. It was largely ignored by the young people, who saw it for what it was - trying to spread the culture of death - which they flatly rejected.
