Lake Havasu, NV (WFN) -- If the Tidy-Bowl man or Ronald McDonald is haunting your dreams or meditations, you're not alone.

Jaye C. Beldo is forming a support group for sufferers of a media-oriented malady he calls Advertising Affective Disorder.

That's where media icons like Tony the Tiger appear whether you want them to or not. For instance, Beldo was once in a museum and saw a vision of Mr. Clean splashing floor cleaner on a Picasso.

Also, he knows a woman who was once demonically possessed by former Charmin toilet paper spokesman Mr. Whipple.

Beldo says the syndrome doesn't stop just by watching less TV. Many sufferers avoid the tube altogether only to have Palmolive Madge pop up in dreams and meditations.

He says sufferers of this terrible "icon-trol" need to know they're not alone and hopes the support group helps sufferers channel the forced "psychological trespassing" into something positive.
