I love to travel. You learn so much. I saw my first holiday billboard for an attorney while traveling last week. The sign just said “Fa la la la Law” or something. Harmless, I suppose. Maybe one of the wise men was an attorney…
My favorite Christmas commercial on TV was the Norelco commercial where Santa rides the Norelco shaver down the slope. He hits a mogul and goes flying and comes down right in front of the lodge. At the end of the commercial they showed the name of the company, but they replaced the ”R” with a snowflake, so it became “No*elco”. It was a clever touch. People dug it. That commercial aired for like 20 years.
The most amazing thing about that commercial is that they selected Santa as the guy to represent their company, to represent their shaver. Yet, ironically, Santa never shaved – at least not that we know of. I wonder how hard it was to convince Santa to do the commercial. I bet him shaving his beard was part of the original script and he negotiated that out…
