Did Bayer (Alka Seltzer’s parent company) pay any U.S. income taxes last year or this year? It’s hard to keep track – so many corporations are getting away without paying income taxes in these times.

Bayer (based in Germany) has a dubious history. The company was a sponsor of Josef Mengele’s experiments at Auschwitz. In the 1950s, Bayer hired Fritz ter Meer (upon his release from prison), a Nazi war criminal convicted at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity, also at Auschwitz.

Chargerbar,

Blaming the sons for the sins of the father and grandfather gets no one nowhere. There were plenty of persons in Germany and Europe in WW II who had no choice but to work for their masters. To forgive is devine. Your reply to this post is pretty harsh for this forum. Is PFT now going to condemn the brutal firebombing of German cities containing many innocents by Churchill and the allies? The Nazis certainly rpovided plenty of reason for retribution.

Continually opening old wounds is not productive. Your assasisination of capitalistic, productive companies echoes the thoughts and totalitarian goals of Hitler and his ilk.

Before Alka-Seltzer, when I had an upset stomach and used the crapper the sounds were “Plop, plop, fizz, fizz”. Followed by me saying “Oh, what a relief it is!”.

Don’t they know that only the lawyers are actually making anything out of these suits. And, it just ties up the court system and you can’t get the real criminals on the docket on a timely basis.

Yes, he was probably wronged by Utah using his image to make money. — so get over it, you also got an education out of it. So use your “learning” and move on.

If I’m Weddle I estimate that the damages are somewhere in the hundreds of millions.

I played for a team that wore all red…i wore #32…..i wore arm pads…..i ran like that…..i had a dark face shield….that’s the pix my school used for the program guides….

So your image can be used in commercials & promo’s etc. with the revenue going to the NCAA.
Do you thing Doug Flutie gets cash everytime they show his Hail Mary against Miami. No Chance.

So Weddle you should have your pic on Viagra Pills because you are a d i c k head. Or on Ex Lax because you are so full of s h i t. What a loser. Way to waste money you don’t have. Dumbassary.
