I came across this appalling ad yesterday but couldn't stop myself from making a side trip to the nearest Mac's (Provisoir in Quebec) convenience store hoping to get a free Dreamsicle brand icecream bar on Martin Luther King day.Advertising, even bad advertising and often especially bad advertising works otherwise companies wouldn't be spending billions a year trying to coax us into buying their wares with often false or exaggerated claims. I have to rush off to work now otherwise I'd pontificate a bit more and remember:
Read The Blob and other people will love you more!!!

Dear Blob,
I thought that was really funny!
Now, may I make a public service announcement:
Hi Guys,
We are celebrating the beginning of Mike Wilson's Birthday Week with back to having a little party this Thursday. Dinner at 8.00 P.M. Chez casa Lee-Martin. You are all invited, and I really hope you make it!
(p.s. Mike's Birthday Week celebrations continue the following Sunday, will be a boys night out for those who can make it).
O.K.
It's nont longer Thursday, because of circumstances beyond our control.
We at Wilson Brithday enterprised.com will get back to you soon,
Dave Martin, CEO
In keeping with "Tastelessness in Advertising", this is a PERFECT announcement for this thread, PB! I'm just upset that I will have to miss the celebrations involved in Mike Wilson's Birthday Week, due to prior commitments here in the wastelands of the North, plundering, pillaging, and dreaming about Ellen Page (did I just write that out LOUD?!?!?!)
You are a bad man, Larry, and so am I...
Oh, I always hate to miss Mikexxxster's birthday week!!!
Would love to do the Marilyn Monroe birthday song in person one year......hhhapppy birthday to youuuuuu, hhhhhapppy birthday to you.....you know how it goes.
Party Bear - give the Mikexxxster a great big Party Bear hug and kiss for me (and Mr. TorontoMave - we'll maybe you can leave out the kiss part from Mr. TorontoMave.....)...
PS: will there be any drinking involved in the week long celebrations, or will it be all tea and saskatoon berry pies?
My guess is that there'll be drinking involved and maybe (just maybe)Canada's sweetheart, Ellen Page will be jumping out of a huge saskatoon berry pie!! She'll be 21this February...right in ol' Mikexxxster's wheelhouse!!
Happy Birthday Mike!!! Mine was last Friday and I got an enormous, chocolate, penis cake that one could have jumped out of. Watch for rude photos of Laura and cake on facebook.
