Yes, please DO!
I am most assuredly NOT a strong, independent, successful
woman, but nevertheless completely agree with rdavis61. We
are waaaaay too serious and, indeed, should lighten up.
Unfortunately, we seem to have given those few who see
slights
under every rock entirely too much credence today.
As an aside, Barcardi - and to a lesser extent, Don Q - hold
prominence among rums because they got there firstest with
the mostest. Real rum afficionados don't touch them. Cruzan is
what they drink.
Yes, let's boycott Barcardi, but only because it's wastewater; not
because we Americans are offended by an ad that never ran in
this country.
