Nothing to do with the direct topic, but it was still a commercial. What happened to that old lady that kept saying, "What Grandma says, Grandma does?" Is she still alive or completely dead?

I have heard--rumored--that the guys who said that were swept into a windshield of glass by Jor-el and sent off into the universe in permanent penance for their ads...they were last heard pleading..."forgive me! forgive me!"

windshield of glass

Also known as the Phantom Zone. But yeah, "Windshield of Glass" works, too. . .

If memory serves me correctly (a crap-shoot, at best) the TV ad in question was a windshield replacement company...hence the modification of the pane...

Not sure if this has been mentioned a couple dozen times but those Edmond Hyundai radio commercials drive me nuts.

I think the name of the place was Glass Masters. I remember the commercial. They claimed loudly that your windshield replacement was FREE because they covered your deductible. Then, in the fine print, they said they would only cover deductibles up to $100. I don't know about anyone else, but my deductible has never been that low.

I-35 Credit Auto (well--actually all of these type--including Regal) with the cheap-jack canned caricature of the baby punker "Kidd Credit". A new low in advertising, worldwide.

That was actually a regional, if not national ad. I saw it in Albuquerque.

Regional...probably "canned"....ads that are generic enough to be used nationwide...like Marcum's Nursery with those dreadfully stupid rabbit characters...the hyper-cheap way to do ads in medium/small markets. They even have SALES on those off-the-rack ad campaigns! Ha!

Another grievous offender...ANYTHING about Platt College...with the sparse-but-fluffy-haired Michael Pugliese pleading that we all...

After his words of encouragement--many have continued to a Ph.D. program at University of Matchbook...

I have little sympathy for these scum that use government programs and soak the public for these ridiculous educational gambits...to say nothing of taking full advantage of naive and well-meaning folks...they should be incarcerated...
