They have been playing one commercial, for some kinda herbal supplement. They explain it contains a miracle ingredient from jellyfish. Well, I remember the jellyfish part, but I cannot remember the name of the product. Effective that ad was.
Then there is William Devane, distinguished looking older guy, who pitchs silver and gold on TV these days. One of his ads starts out on the deck of a retired US battleship. Devane is standing in front of the main battery giving the pitch. "When the US used battleships to make its points, things were better." Although the US launched battleships starting when they were first developed, except for the Spanish American War, a tiny sideshow long ago, we never used them in combat. By the time the US Navy became the world class force, it was WWII and the battleships had been replaced by aircraft carriers.
And I still haven't invested in silver or gold.
