misstiaOur Holiday Ads Contest STARTS TOMORROW December 1st!!! Here's our rules....yes, the standard general rule post.....
1. Defining Holiday Ads: Any December holiday! Yule, Solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Santa, mass consumerism, etc....any questions, just ask!
2. Hall & Oates: Yes, of course the Fiero ad can be submitted, if it's not something is terribly broken in this community...the Fiero is red, right? that makes it festive...and we just had the Canada Dry Hall & Oates Pontiac ad, that should be submitted too! WE MUST KEEP THE PATRON SAINTS OF VINTAGE ADS HAPPY!!!!!!!
3. All ads MUST comply with all regular rules---except, only one ad per post!!! so ads must be embedded (youtube & print ads are fine), ads must be 1991 and before, etc...please read the rules on our community info page and remember, just one ad per post for entries...
4. ALL entries must have at least 'contest' in the subject...if it doesn't say at least 'contest', then i won't count votes!
5. voting....you vote via a YES in the comments....you can put it in the subject of the comments, you can put it in the body of the comments....you can write an essay on the ad and then at the end put a 'yes'...but there must be a YES in the comments to count as a vote...no, i'm not even bolding it or changing the font color this time...it does no good....
6. regular ads are of course accepted!
7. you'd think i'd have a template rule post to use so i didn't sit here thinkering uh, what's the other rule? is there another?? but alas, no....i haven't done that and i don't think there's another rule....oh wait, HAVE FUN!!! :D
no one gave any feedback about January.....winter ads?? that's a repeat from last january but is that okay? or do you want me to pick a few selections from the cup and vote on a different topic?? February is JELLO!!!!
and after we select the winner of holiday ads, we are going to have an 'ad of the year' vote! where all winners will face each other!! there definitely needs to be a prize for ad of the year...like a tangible prize....what should it be?? ideas??
programming note: i am sick...i have the flu....i told the flu to fuck the fuck off yesterday so it actually got worse today (note to self, do not tell the flu off, it doesn't like that!!)...i hope to be better tomorrow, but i WILL be checking the mod queue, but perhaps not hourly, perhaps every 2 hours instead of every waking hour, so please be patient.....and on friday if i am well enough i have a boat load of errands to run and will not be home much of the day, so hang tight queue wise, i'll check it right before i leave and then right when i get home (well after i unload perishables....)....

Chicken Helper (1985)
Nov. 30th, 2011 10:02 pmpikkewyntjie.livejournal.comAnother Helper ad. Chicken Helper these days is more like Hamburger Helper in that it's usually some sort of noodle or rice-based casserole, but back then it was a ripoff of Shake N Bake. It actually wasn't too bad. I remember it being edible.
Of course, Hamburger Helper was the first, then Tuna Helper and Chicken Helper came along later to provide a variety of meal solutions for various types of meats. Everything was fine until a few years ago when they came out with ASIAN HELPER!!! (Cue "Maneater" by Hall & Oates.) Seriously, the first time I saw that in stores I think I stared at the box a full minute until my brain stopped screaming "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!"
Remember, Vintage Ads is your number one resource for Hall & Oates, cannibalism, and innuendo! (Wait. Is that official yet?)
