Show Description
[ Courtesy: Lowell Thelin - ]
The commercial as "the calendar of the fears of our times"
Bad breath commercial direct approach - "No longer does man worry about the sensibilities of his fellow man"
Problems with spray cans and rip-offs on common items with fancy names -
"Beware of any place that in itself has created a euphemism for what it sells"
Attempts to get an oil change -
+ "If you're in a hurry, take a ride, Mack!"
+ "Can't you see we're using the lift - Why don't you change the oil
yourself!"
+ Guy with dead battery setting off a scene of anger and frustration
+ Attendant in with his chick on Sunday - not about to do anything
Fungus Clevenger story - guy in college dorm smells so bad that he is bodily thrown into shower and sprayed down with deodorant
