The things people learn from movies

Hi there

Quite a while back I was having lunch with a group of varied-aged people.  We were in a nice restaurant.  The young woman sitting beside me confided that she had never understood how to navigate through a proper cutlery setting until she saw it demonstrated in the movie "Pretty Woman";  she now felt confident when eating out, she said.

Years ago, another young woman told me that she only  bought wooden coat-hangers because in the movie "Mommie Dearest", the main character, a film star, had berated her daughter because of the purchase of plastic coat-hangers. 

Don't tell me Hollywood can't be an educator ......
