Schev-row-lay

All together now, General Motors employees - "schev-row-lay." That's it! Not Chevy! This will enhance the image by making the car seem...perhaps more European or French or fancy. We have the Cadillac - sounds French and sexy. Hmmmm, now that we've dumped the "Olds(mobile)", maybe we should re-spell our other product "Buicque" - that's the ticket!
Methinks the attempt to convert Chevy owners to Chevrolet owners will succeed as would trying to teach those who use vile language to say "maternal fornicator" in stead of "Muhfuka."
I'm grabbin' me a piece of pie and drivin' my Chevy to the levee, and I hope it ain't dry.

Mops in Love

It's hard to decide which TV ads are the most obnoxious and insulting to one's intelligence.
One nomination is for the hundred-times-a-day ad for a new style of floor mop. In it, you are told to put away your old mop - BUT, not to worry, it will find a new friend. In this fantasy world, your old mop falls in love with, among many versions, a rake, a bowling ball, and, my personal favorite, a pink flamingo lawn ornament. Who are the target audience for these ads? Do children under five years old select cleaning supplies? Do the asylums send inmates to Walmart to buy mops? If worrying about the love life of your worn out mop is of concern to you, you've got BIG problems.
