I've tried to read the rest of Mike's answer, but I'll candidly admit
that, having a terrible headache and being really tired I got lost
through it and so I'll limit myself to the two paragraphs above. The
first one, maybe it's not absurd, but it does look as a terrible
marketing/advertising gaffe, doesn't it?

On the second comment, I agree 100% on schools, that's why I
volunteered (but next month, please....) to maintain a database of
places that do or don't do it.

Ciao,
