...artwork on the cereal box was meant to entertain breakfast eaters, but it wound up appalling some of them instead. A new package for General Mills' Count Chocula breakfast cereal features a rendering of Bela Lugosi from the 1931 film Dracula. Around the vampire's neck hangs a pendant that resembles a six-pointed Star of David, the symbol of Judaism.

...catalogue this year will undoubtedly be Filene's 52-page opus. The Boston-based specialty-store chain has enlivened its book with a plot about a working girl and Truelove, her white Persian cat. The cat's name, the heart-and-holly symbol it wears as a pendant and white cats are scattered profusely throughout the text and pictures, even the margins. (Fifty-one heart-and-holly symbols appear on one bikini panty.) Next week, the reader who comes up with the exact number of True-loves, cats and symbols will be awarded a $10,000 gift certificate...
