AUT: Re: FW: Fwd: Biased comments by Tommy Hilfiger on "Oprah"

[Michael Pugliese <debsian@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    I've heard this is an urban legend. One bad sign is that no broadcast
date is given. Plus I can't believe that he would be so dumb to piss off so
many potential customers.
   This seems to back up my hunch. Found it in a few seconds. Allow me to be
sarcastic.  New York Univ. !!! Search engine?!
