A COMMERCIAL WITH REAL BALLS...AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE
I have to admit -- after watching this commercial, I definitely checked out the skin care products. And I don't even live in England.

The lady doing the talking is the actual president of the company.
Speaking from the point of view of a guy who's been in advertising his whole life, I think there's only one or two spots where English "smarminess" kinda gets in the way of the message. But it's unlikely you're ever gonna see a commercial like this again...
------
HEY GUITAR PLAYERS! Put this on your Netflix list: Lightnin' Hopkins: Rare Performances 1960-1979.
My GOD, this guy could play. I knew that, but sorta forgot. This collection culminates with two sets from the 1970s, one from a Houston Public TV show and the other from Austin City Limits. Yikes! Good stuff. There's even a bonus section from an early 1960s broadcast, where Hopkins plays under the watchful eye of an EXTREMELY young Joan Baez.

My son Brendan got his driver's license. First try! Give him some ROOM, dammit!
