'Hi, this is Bullwinkle!&quot; See? &nbsp;Nothing alike&quot; &nbsp;(he said, without changing a tone or inflection). <br> <br>I also had the benefit to talk to Mr. Clampett regarding the &quot;Coal Black&quot; situation, and it was done with love and respect (despite what current perceptions may seem), and had offered to remove any drawing or dialogue the African American performers found offensive. &nbsp;http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/wade_sampson/archive/2006/05/10/2312.aspx#12726Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:32:00 GMTc6eae8b7-6313-4d41-ad2e-eb83602357af:12726Wade Sampson<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.bullfrog117.com/unfiltered/?p=190">http://www.bullfrog117.com/unfiltered/?p=190</a></p>
