That guy will never amount to anythingAlways fun to look back and then say, "Where are they now?" You might be some dork in a Radio Shack Tandy ad (slide 18), or you might be the freakin' richest man in America. Let's all point and laugh.

Interruptive AdBy Anonymous on November 13, 2009, 11:16 amLoved (not!) the Citrix ad you plopped in the middle of the count and set up so it wouldn't go away.
They're realBy Anonymous on November 13, 2009, 9:21 amWho was Sabrina in slide 6? She's not a teenage witch, and she's clearly not Audrey Hepburn from the 1954 movie. A few minutes of research on the intertubes turns up the following: "Norma Sykes D.Litt (Hon) is the voluptuous British lass who became Sabrina and accomplished above the hips what Elvis accomplished below. ... She was a 'dumb blonde' who was a genius at self-promotion, an ill-educated teenager because of lengthy hospital stays, and an honorary Doctor of Letters with an impossibly-proportioned figure." http://nylon.net/sabrina/

Daisy GunsBy Anonymous on November 11, 2009, 11:45 am"Family values just aren't the same these days." Heh. Tell me about it. Families are stocking up on real guns these days.
Daisy?By Anonymous on November 12, 2009, 4:17 pmBack then we didn't have to stock up as most families already had at least a rifle and shotgun. I had my own 22 cal rifle and 16 ga shotgun by the time I was 14. OTOH they were for hunting, not defending my territory.
Missed referencesBy Anonymous on November 11, 2009, 11:24 amExcellent stuff! in #21, Sir Roger Moore wasn't James Bond in those days - he was "The Saint", hence the higher standard verbage made sense. in #25, the badly done allusion was to a common phrase in the 40's "lady killer". These days, we would say "play boy" to mean the same thing.
Dates?By Anonymous on November 11, 2009, 9:26 amNice, but it would have been nice to see the dates of the ads
The Penril ModemBy Scunnerous on November 11, 2009, 1:09 amI remember I bought a Penril modem once - 2400baud async IIRC. I never could get it to work and got into a terrible argument with their umm, Customer Support. I think I eventually managed to get it exchanged by the retailer because I was pretty sure the company knew their product was a brick.
