Five Times the Scary

Emilie scoops out the pumpkin
While Marie and Cecile look on
Annette is doing nothing,
but neither is Yvonne.

WTH?

Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why poetry and grammar died a horrible death.


Also, although this isn't clearly an ad, I think the Quints' appearances were entirely a marketing strategy.

I remember reading about them when I was a kid. Their story is so tragic.

I'm not sure what they're selling either, but you know if the Dionne quintuplets were in it, someone was making a buck off it somewhere. And, yeah, that's some pretty horrible "poetry."

I think this was marketing the Quints themselves. NEA seems to have put out a lot of books, photos and memorabilia about the Quints. You can find some for sale on Ebay. They were a huge tourist attraction, apparently bigger than Niagara Falls according to Wiki, and you have to keep the public wanting to come. Sadly these 5 girls had become a commodity and they were being marketed in ads like this.

Those poor quints were so exploited.
