which is incorrect; seatbelts, or more properly chairbelts, are provided for riders in wheelchairs.

And speaking of Japanese weirdities, at least when I lived there as a kid (1967-68), the leading nondairy creamer, i.e. the Japanese answer to Coffeemate, was called "Creap"! Luckily I was too young to need it.

Mbo reminded me of another matress store jingle from my area, from Matress Giant. The commercial has this big skinhead cartoon grinning and sliding across the screen, while a woman sings something like: "If you want that oooooooh-aaaaaahhh feel, come to Matress Giant!" It ends with the woman groaning orgasmically.

I remember bits and pieces of bad cereal commercials from my childhood... Blank-eyed, goose-stepping, Smurfs, insistently chanting that "Smurfberry Crunch® is fun to eat!" ... The one for Pac Man Cereal® REALLY sucked, but I'm currently trying to block that one out... Blehhh...

And the 'Menards' song. One of those stores where you buy tools and wood and patio doors. This frightening little gnome with a permanent smile/grimace excitedly telling us what's on sale, while corny banjo music plays in the background. This is layered between men and/or women singing about how you're going to 'Save big money, when you shop Menards!!!!!!!!... SAVE BIG MONEY AT MENAAAAAAAAARDS!!!!" Scary.

There is a sign on an old highway in western Arkansas, with a picture of the head of Jesus, wearing a crown of thorns, and the slogan, "This blood's for you."

There also used to be a billboard in Denver, Colorado, of Jesus nailed to the cross, that said, "Denver, I love you this much."

The worst ad I can think of was one for Jim Adler, the Tough Smart Lawyer (now known as the Texas Hammer), who's catch phrase was, "I'll go after every penny you deserve."

My favorites were the Don't Mess With Texas ads, which were either really good or really bad depending on your sense of humor. The first was Willie Nelson sitting in the middle of the road singing, "Mamas, tell all your babies don't mess with Texas. Don't let 'em throw cans from those old pickup trucks, don't let 'em throw bottles and papers and stuff . . ." The other good one was a big, hairy biker gang grumbling about how "they're messing with our territory again." They all get on their Harleys and go charging down the highway . . . to a place where there's trash all over the road. The closing scene was a big, scary-looking guy holding a can on a pronged stick and saying, "Some people are such animals".

"Crest has been shown to be an effective decay-preventive dentifrice when used in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care" 30 years after these commercials ran, I still have this phrase ingrained in my memory.

What about the Plymouth Reliant? Who wants a car that's reliant? Wouldn't you prefer one that was reliable?What the hell was it reliant on?Constant service and frequent oil replenishment?

Two of the worst marketing moves ever made: 1) In about 1979,Braniff Airlines ran an ad campaign making fun of plane crashes.Ads showed hysterical passengers being carried onto the plane wearing crash-helmets,pilots entering the plane with parachutes on their backs,etc.Concept apparently was "Hey! There are thousands of potential customers who don't fly because of their fear! Let's help them laugh at disaster!" 2)In 1970 Schlitz Beer was the third largest brand in America,when they decided to scrap the current recipe and introduce an entirely new-tasting Schlitz.A year later they tried to go back to the original formula in the face of mass consumer desertion.Two years later they were bankrupt.

In addition to the hold-down-alt way (mentioned by kat/katlaughing) of making copyright and trademark symbols (and many others), depending on the encoding it's set for most browsers nowadays will show you a copyright symbol if you type either ampersand-"copy"-semicolon or ampersand-tictactoe-169-semicolon (omit any hyphens and/or quotation marks when you actually do it), or a registered trademark circle R symbol if you type either ampersand-"reg"-semicolon or ampersand-tictactoe-174-semicolon. These will work with a Western Windows or Western ISO (e.g. Latin-One) encoding, or I think with Unicode UTF-8 encoding, anyway. Can't guarantee these will work for all encodings or all browsers, and I don't know what they look like on Macs, but I'm pretty sure they will work at least for the commoner US and Latin-Alphabet-European browsers and encodings on PCs.

Lepus_Rex et al.:

Bad cereal commercials? When I was a kid in Japan there was a chocolate-flavored-corn-flakes cereal called Choco Flakes, and their main commercial consisted of Twiggy (anybody remember Twiggy?) saying, with what seemed, to my childlike mind, utterly absurd Cockney-tryin'-to-sound-like-'er-Majesty-ish vowels, "Oh... Choco Flakes"; her vowels made it sound like it was spelled "Ehhhhhw, Chehw-kehw Flex".
