Oh, Those ComMERcials!

Did someone misread a calendar? Several weeks ago, I heard a Mitsubishi commercial espousing the virtues of its 2009 model...yes...2009! Last evening, Toyota began talking about ITS units for 2009. Where are all the 2008-s?!? Speaking of Toyota, their slogan, "Ask someone you know who drives one" took me W-A-Y back to a similar ad for Studebaker-Packard urging the listener to, "Ask the man who OWNS one!" hmmm.

Thinking I'd never see it again, Mickey D regurged the man in a bowling shirt who finds it necessary to lean over the ship's bow to eat his fish sandwich, when a dolphin snatches it. Good Grief, Charley Green!

Great carry-over from Soooper Bowl Eks Ell Eye Eye is from Tide, overtalking a young man with stained shirt at a job interview. Can't you just see Chevy Chase doing that?

And...I forever love the sale, wherein the announcer proclaims, "Everything is priced to sell!" Does that mean some stores wish to KEEP their inventory?!?

I'm sure you'll think of many more, but this was to merely get your O-Neg on the flow.
