I found this advertisement placard in a vinyl album, and decided to play the card.

    It's not a big deal, just one of those things that was jarring to read because I knew I had heard it differently in the past. It's more irritating to me that I knew the 'open heart surgery' thing well, and hadn't heard about this. Shows what some people are concerned with.
