Readers hold forth on Kobe Bryant, Mr. Peanut and the Grammys



Forked River, N.J.: I discover it to be outrageous that Planters has determined to kill off Mr. Peanut (and on the Tremendous Bowl no much less). Sure, it’s true that Mr. Peanut had a fame as a womanizer and a celebration man, however he was a cocktail celebration nut in spite of everything. Over time, he had been seen at nearly each celebration along with his prime hat, monocle and witty cocktail celebration banter. Sure, he’s 104 years previous, however are Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima or the Gerber Child now too going through age discrimination? I do know Tony the Tiger isn’t going to assume it’s “grrr-eat!!” when he finds himself on the unemployment line with Mr. Clear. The GEICO lizard’s job is being outsourced to raccoons and woodchucks, and Gumby is in seclusion refusing to talk to anybody. It’s identical to what Invoice Murray stated within the film “Ghostbusters” when he warned us all: “Canines and cats residing collectively, mass hysteria.” So God velocity, Mr. Peanut. You went far earlier than your time. Jim Hughes
