Pine-Sol Lady, the new Aunt Jemima

Becoming the face of Pine-Sol has garnered comedian/actress Diane Amos http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2002/02/15/WB227108.DTL lucrative income. However, you can't dismiss the slightly racist overture she shares with another popular product endorsed by an overweight black woman...Aunt Jemima. It makes you wonder where we stand as a progressive, forward-thinking society. Yet, it is endearing to know that America does take comfort from these women.
