Well of course, Joe J; it's the only one that makes any sense.
Were Mr. Bergen to intone Porky and be part of a national ad campaign that read "Me and the gang support the wholesale springtime slaughter of pup seals in Canada 'cuz they grow up to eat all the cod and poop in the ocean...th-th-th-that's all folks", there'd be an understandable hue and cry.
And Mr. Bergen would be out many, many dollars.
But if he (as Bob Bergen), JS, myself, Joe J, Allen, Lynn, Bill, or Connie were paid $2,500 to say the same thing, who the heck would know who it was?
Or much care?

It's the name in the tag line that would take all the flack.
(Although those pup seals DO grow up to eat all the cod and poop in the water, you know....)

Opiningly Yours,
