i quit watching commercials with any sense of interest after joe nameth did the panty hose thing - yes i saw them , yes i registered what they were selling , but that never made me buy anything , i liked looking at the girls , some of the new car designs were interesting , most of the food when you got it looked nothing like the commercials , being misled is not in my nature an acceptable thing , 

 

ive even found the super bowl commercials to be unworthy of watching - so i dont watch , why waste my time on something i wont buy anyway ? no matter how innovative they might be , besides too much went woke [whatever the hell that was] and became nothing more than pushing gay crap down our throats' , i dont want to see it or think about it so i wont watch it , 

im to the point of saying stuff it and go back in the closet - get out of my face , 

 

but , i recall the chevrolet commercials fondly about seeing the USA , im intending to do that the rest of my life .......some of it in my chev suburban

We watch YouTube and TUBI a lot. It's free. But the commercials are stupid and annoying beyond compair. Sometimes I can't even figure out what they're promoting.   I don't know who they are targeting but they miss me completely.

He made some popular movies too. Good singer.

 

 

It drives me crazy when the people who put the subtitles on these things don't have a clue what they are saying.  "Leak one night"?  Hell, that doesn't even make sense in any language, and about half of the songs with lyrics are botched up that  way.

 

BTW, that is one of my favorite novelty songs".

Is this the same brainless, soulless,  unaccountable AI that runs the traffic lights in our area, the same AI that people are waiting with bated breath to have drive their cars and control their houses...and even businesses..., the same AI that is rapidly taking over our national defenses systems, that has too much control over our medical facilities, and runs a lot of machinery, sets prices based on population size, and so on ad-nauseam?

 

I have been working with computers of one sort of another for 59 years and have yet to  see one that is infallible.  They may be faster than I am and have more information stored in their digital so-called brains but in the long run they have no common sense, no experience, no true reflexes, and no personality.

 

And in most everyday situations they are not as smart as you and I are.

While you can still buy Anacin, the formulation used when that commercial was made is no longer available. One of the original ingredients in Anacin (Phenacetin) was banned by the FDA in 1983 because it was found to be a known carcinogen along with other lethal side effects including kidney failure. The Anacin sold today only contains aspirin and caffeine.

 

Good news is that phenacetin has been replaced by Acetaminophen. The closest OTC pain reliever to the original Anacin is Excedrin as it contains aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine. It is my go to pain reliever.

Thanks for that. I wondered about what became of the Anacin brand. Excedrin and Anacin were big competitors.

My father who had a mainframe computer business said about them, “Garbage in, garbage out.”
