Just As I Thought

Almost every kernel resurrected

Oh, boy. The dead have risen to walk across the face of the Earth… and predictably, they’re being used for advertising.

Good old Orville Redenbacher has been resurrected electronically (throw the switch, Igor!) and pasted to our television screens to sell popcorn. As well as cause nightmares.

The ad geniuses who perpetrated this horror are effusive in their praise, pointing out how lifelike the animated corpse is and how like Orville it appears. I don’t know what they’ve been smoking. It looks nothing like Orville; in fact, it looks far more like a guy wearing an Orville mask, which ironically would have been far cheaper to produce than this monstrosity.

Backfire, I think. I’ll never be able to purchase Orville Redenbacher popcorn again because just walking down the supermarket aisle will remind me of a spooky, foggy night in the graveyard.

    Didn’t Fred Astire sell vacume cleaners a few years back?
