1. Those Coppertone billboards from the 1960's (a pedophile's frickin'
dream)
2. "Hi Guy!" mouthwash commercial campaign, early 70's --Scope?
3. The Gulf "no-knocks" campaign from the late '60s (pixilated people
scooting through town on their butts, the machine civilization a thing
of the past)
4. "I can't believe I ate the whole thing. (You ate it Ralph...)"
--Alka Seltzer
5. "Stronger than Dirt" (The Doors, Soft Parade)
6. any mid-'70s kitchen gadget ad from Ron Popiel
7. "Where's the Beef?!" --Wendy's
8. "Big Brother" hammer toss --Apple
9. the late '80s "Dr. Zizmor" subway campaign in New York
and the most effective advertising slogan of our time:
10. "The smoking gun may turn out to be a mushroom cloud."
