  1. You have not given me a definition of thunk :blink:

     

    Obviously ya'll just cannot speck! :rolleyes:

     

    When you had a thought that you think you had earlier it could be a thunk even though the thought was thoughtful enough to think it after you thought you thinked it before when actually the thought you were thinking was thunk before the thinking thought you had before the thought you think you had thunk.

     

    ;)

     

     

    As usual, I had to spell it out fer you Frecks, who have trouble specking. ;)

     

     

    See ya tomorrow.

  2. The singing talents of William Hung as he sung and danced on the American Idol program, are open to criticism. But William Hung's rendition of the songs as captured in the 'Inspiration' music album are full of zest and panache.

     

    The songs as sung by William Hung in the American Idol and other tv shows include the memorable rendition of 'She Bangs' - or rather 'She Bang' as some think his interpretation was.

     

    The William Hung songs are captured for posterity by the music album 'Inspiration' ,which is a collection of William Hung songs

    American soldiers in Iraq apparently love the Inspiration album by William Hung and recently played it to Iraqi prisoners while torturing them.

     

    The album includes the following William Hung songs

  4. Now today we know how bad it is, yet a large percentage of the population still smokes.

     

    Go figure.

     

    That is because Nicotine is one of the worst drugs to get hooked on. Cigarettes lift you up when needed, and calm you down when needed.

     

    If you are hooked, it is murder trying to quit. I know, I am going through it again, with the shot. It still is tough, though.

  5. Cigarette manufacturers were one of the first industries to advertise widely on television. They had deep pockets and could afford to gamble on a new advertising medium, footing the bill for a host of early classic television programs. Ironically, in just a few short decades, they were cast away from the medium they helped create.

     

    Almost every television show from the forties through the early-sixties had a primary sponsor each week. To compensate for the relatively low audience numbers TV offered, stars were expected to be seen personally using or endorsing the sponsor's products.

     

    As television expanded its reach and proved more effective as a marketing tool, advertisers lined up to buy spots and main sponsor's were no longer required or desired; not having one big sponsor meant less interference in the content of the program.

     

    Here are a few examples of how smokes were sold using television personalities and cartoon characters.

     

    Topper (1953-1956) was a sitcom that featured the aristocratic Cosmo Topper (Leo G. Carroll) and his piss elegant ghostly visitors George and Marion Kirby (played by Anne Jeffries and Robert Sterling). What else would they be doing with their time off together but smoking?

     

    I Love Lucy (1951-1957) was also sponsored by a cigarette maker for a while, Phillip Morris, who promised their customers, "Smoke for pleasure today. No cigarette hangover tomorrow!" That sponsorship meant added scenes of Lucy and Desi smoking in the program's intro and the "Call for Phillip Moooriiiiuuss" kid in commercial transitions.

     

    One of TV's first stars was the Old Gold dancing cigarette pack of the early 1950s, a truly bizarre advertising concoction - an oversized cigarette pack with lovely legs that danced aimlessly around in front of a curtain while the announcer promised a taste, "made by tobacco men, not medicine men." Because if you're going to ingest something into your lungs, better it was sanctioned by a North Carolina dirt scratcher than some high falutin' doctor, right?

     

    "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should." That slogan, set to music, was one of the first hummable TV commercials, debuting in the mid-fifties and running all throughout the sixties. Grammar teachers and language purists cried foul so Winston answered with a new slogan - "What do you want, good grammar or good taste?"

     

    Big movie stars were happy to endorse smokes on TV as well, and the number one celebrity of the era was the Duke. John Wayne appeared for Camel in 1952, speaking highly of the product: "Mild and good tasting pack after pack. And I know, I've been smokin' em for twenty years." This commercial was filmed in conjunction with Wayne's movie Big Jim McLain.

     

    If I told you the original network run of The Flintstones (1960-1966) was sponsored by a cigarette maker and that you could watch the main characters smoking Winstons at the end of the show, you probably wouldn't believe me. This animated series was a prime-time show, considered adult fare in 1960, so I guess nobody thought any better of it.

    With a large audience of youngsters tuning in at 8:30pm, was this proof that the tobacco companies were targeting younger potential smokers decades before Joe Camel? The Flintstones could also be seen selling beer during commercial breaks, for what that's worth.

     

    Salem in 1961 promised that, "you smoke refreshed" - you have to admire a product that offers "a breath of springtime freshness" in every puff. We're talking about a cigarette, right?

     

    Occasionally, the sponsor's jingle was a famous as the TV show theme song. The Addams Family (1964-1966) was brought to you by Dutch Masters Cigars, with the famous Dutch Masters chorus - "Step up to Dutch Masters, and smile, brother smile!" (After you brush your teeth, please.)

    By the late-sixties, cigarette companies portrayed their clients not as addicted but motivated, active and loyal - a man or woman with a black eye would exclaim, "Us Tareyton smokers would rather fight that switch"; a rugged guy imparts, "Me and my Winstons, we got a real good thing," Marlboro smokers "Come to where the flavor is," while Camel smokers pledged, "I would walk a mile for a Camel."

  6. I don't remember the Flintstones being in black and white :ninja:

    I watched them everyday....after school.....in color :lol:

     

     

    Like I said before, you are still a baby.

     

    B/W TV's were all there were for a long time, and you could tell the rich folk, cause they had a behemouth color set.

  7. That's cause you are still a baby. :p

     

     

    I remember seeing that very one on TV, as well as the Marlboro man.

     

    All Cigarettes used to advertise on TV, back in the 60's.

     

    ;)

     

    Benson and Hedges used to have a slogan for "a silly little milimeter longer"

     

    "Winston taste good like a cigarette should"

  8. A Priest entered his donkey in a race and it won.

     

    The priest was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in another race, and it won again.

     

    The local paper read: PRIEST'S ASS OUT FRONT.

     

    The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the priest not to enter the donkey in any more races.

     

    The next day, the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST'S ASS.

     

    This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the Priest to get rid of the donkey.

     

    The Priest decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent.

     

    The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS THE BEST ASS IN TOWN.

     

    The Bishop fainted.

     

    He informed the Nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

     

    The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

     

    This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the Nun to buy back the donkey and release it in the high plains where it could run wild.

     

    The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

     

    Alas;...... the Bishop was buried the next day.

     

    MORAL OF THE STORY??

     

    Being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery, even shorten your life.

     

    So, do the right thing, be yourself and learn to live life, on lifes terms ...

     

    Stop worrying about everyone else's perception of the performance of your ass; you'll live longer and be a lot happier!

     

    ;)

  9. Wow, 36 people have read this and are afraid to comment. :blink:

     

     

    It is a joke, people, Lighten up. You won't go to Hell, if you laugh a little. :rolleyes:

     

     

    Maybe I should also post in the Religious forum.
