Re: All Comedy (was LTAR)



Roger doth quote:
> Directly from the ad on WBZ:
> Bill Shea's Corian Countertops ask you "How Long Is It?"

gee, rog... that's kind of personal.  but let me get the big tape measure!
as the commercial invites me to "...take out (my) tape measure and find out how just "how long is it!""  yeah, when you say Shea's, you make your Corian counter TOPS!"

new thread:  same ad copy ad infinitum... good or bad?
i don't mean ad copy "themes," but in the case of the WBZ/Shea's copy, it's same dang copy.  (nary a rewrite in a handful of fortnights or some lost Shakespearean measurement)

now, if you want to talk about double-entrendres:
Paging Bill O'Neill... you can't spell YELLOW without William (billY) O'nEiLL
 (okay, it was a stretch)
