>kleenex mean to you?  To me, kleenex is something I use when I'm

>love him, I don't see how Prince could fit into that category.
>If you are saying kleenex is such an everyday item that it is
>not possible to hate it, then I say bullsh*t.  If it's an
>accessory, hating it doesn't make much sense.  It's there when

>If it's a pop artist, it makes perfect sense to hate it.
