Show TQM FOOLERY. . . e A psychiatrist would proBably put it down as the first j sure sign of insanity if we were to tell him about a fright- v ening radio commercial that has recently put a half-Nelson J on our dreams and won't let go. - a It is similar to the type popular with the radio an- nouncers who try to shame you into buying their product. You know how these go. The pitch is that if you haven't tried Old'Colds lately or washed your undies in Cuz, you've c lost your standing with the human race and better drop j dead. h This commercial that's driving us nuts begins unac- i countably with the opening lines from a "Porgy and Bess" song. It first intruded itself during a fitful sleep we $ were catching following a not too successful evening of L penny ante with some of the boys. " As we lay there under the anesthesia of half-sleep, the g words came urgent and loud, q "Have you got plenty of nothing? s: "Is Nothing plenty for you? "Did you know that Nothing comes in no sizes at all and no shapes and no colors? "Have you tried Nothing? It's like Nothing you've ever tried. "Nothing will do absolutely nothing for you. It's got to. It's good for nothing!" We'll see you later kids. The sponsors of Nothing want us to dream them up some more commercials. |
