Appendix A The Opinion of Ty Coon, President of Vice about Gnomovision
At 1989 Ty Coon made a public statement regarding the impact of
Gnomovision on the mental development of the children. Since then
several criticisms of Coon's opinion have been made:

* Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco
