Mommy needs a ciggie.



Is that a vintage ad or parody?
Slipping into something

those are actual ads --not sure what year, could be anywhere from the early '40s to the late '50s, I'm guessing.

Not sure how new it is, but I caught a soundalike of the Chairmen of the Board's "Give Me Just A Little More Time" in a Swiffer commercial tonight.
Let's get right to it.

So, Little Steven's Underground Garage chose today to promote via FB "our new Underground Garage black hoodie"  Dude, seriously?
Of course, I instantly commented "Just don't wear it in Florida"

That Great America commercial with the family that communicates by screaming (with subtitles) is easily the most annoying spot in months.
