Oil of Obay

I was checking out the guys over at the War on Folly, a really nice site to browse by the way (yo Charles & Charles you guys need a comments option), and along with the video for the marriage proposal that got shot down at halftime at the NBA game I came across this photo

Photobucket Courtesy Jonathan Goldsbie and originally seen at Torontoist. You can check the original if you cant see this one clearly.

I not sure what it is they actually advertising but this photo is from College and University just outside the Queens Park subway station. I verified it at lunch today (got to love that Metropass).

Actually there are a few of these Obay ads (from the makers of WhybecauseISaidSo) knocking around and I even noticed the campaign on the subway coming home this evening.

Anyway all this Obay talk got me thinking about my new old product that I'm trying to market and rebrand. Its a supplementary product, a catalyst so to speak, in case Obay or WhyBecauseIsaidSo don't just work on their own. I havent locked down the marketing scheme yet, I aint no expert but I have a rough rough draft of the first ad that I will share with y'all today

I am screaming with laughter (and also just a little afraid they might bring back liks for grown children--why just the other night I was told I had forgotten my manners).

oh SNNAAAAP!!! i just about fell out of my chair laughing at "Liks" (why'd i take so long to get to this!)! Still wiping up the tears. Thanks, I needed that.

There'll prolly be some kind of commenting feature put in at some point. We're very much a i'll-get-around-to-it bunch tho so don't hold your breath ;-)

Unfortunately, living/working in the B dot O dot, I've missed out on seeing those adds.

"Belt sold separately."
Lol! True though - more 'liks' (good dicipline) and more parent supervision is definitely needed.

In my childhood I was well acquainted with the IGineGiveYouSomethingtoCryBout line of products, and later also with

I don't miss those days at all at all.
