Retro Ad Watch


My Ruth Buzzi fixation is well-documented, so when this 1970 Lincoln Continental (mock) ad featuring the "Laugh-In" star (!) popped up on a friend's Facebook page while I was in Motor City, it seemed only right to share it.

If you love Ruth Buzzi, I hope you are following her on Twitter. Probably my favorite follow after PsuedoFed.

If only this were a real ad instead of fun with Photoshop (and they did a great job BTW). While "The 4-coil spring suspension that keeps Ruth's ass planted deeply in the latex foam padding" made me laugh, I doubt the fine folks at Ford-Lincoln-Mercury would have been as amused. Here's the original ad photo (if you can't get there by horse or helicopter you need a Lincoln): http://automotivemileposts.com/auctions/images/linc1970sedan.jpg

"Unfollowed" Ruth Buzzi on Twitter after she came out in favor of Chik fil A. Very disappointing.
