Commercials from the Past???

Here is an article from Slash/Dot reguarding the accuracy of wikipedia:

Nature magazine recently conducted a head-to-head competition between Wikipedia and Britannica, having experts compare 42 science-related articles. The result was that Wikipedia had about 4 errors per article, while Britannica had about 3. However, a pair of endevouring Wikipedians dug a little deeper and discovered that the Wikipedia articles in the sample were, on average, 2.6 times longer than Britannica's - meaning Wikipedia has an error rate far less than Britannica's."

Granted these tests were done in 2005, and only on science articles, but the
accuracy compares favoribly.

This was actually on several news services when it was published.

But if you check, encyclopedias are not a reliable source and are not accepted.

Does anyone know of an old commercial that had a girl coming out of a tube
of haircream? Prunette thinks one like that got banned because it was so
suggestive. It might have been Brylcreem.

Here's a site with some old grooming commercials.

This commercials not that old, but I always got a kick out of the House of Kawasaki commercial where at the end it said "come on down, we'll treat you just like family". In some cases, that's not saying much.

I wonder what happened to that guy?

The first Kawasaki Dealer in OKC was located at about 57th and Shields....Al Levine owned the dealership.....Al was one of the original Levine's of the Levine Department store in Capitol Hill.....TG&Y Contracted with him to sell the Kawasaki Bikes and we did a pretty good job. Then, Kawasaki began to grow and there were about 6 or 7 Dealers in the OKC metro....The name was "Cycle Wolrld"....remember them USG60???

Was Jandebuer's (sp) on N.W. 10th street on the north side and east of
Glenn's?

[Generals64]

I think you're right....I had completely forgotten Jande....whatever......that would be a good J for the Business Game.....

There was a Jandebeur Cycle at 2600 S. Robinson. Has an ad in the 1972 Chieftain yearbook. According to American Motorcycling, Nov. 1966, Jandebeur had 5 stores in Okc and Tulsa. I know the dealership on Robinson burned but don't remember the year. The slab has been vacant even to this day.....

Do you remember the Aunt Jemima commercial?....The original Aunt Jemima was supposedly from the OKC area......That's an Icon right there....
