This is the first GMCH that I've found truely annoying and not the least bit funny. I found myself wanting to choke Linda.
That doesn't mean it doesn't belong here. It just means she's a total freak.
Yeah since commercial is the suxxors I won't let you peeps go away empty handed. Check out [youtube.com] This is from local Detroit TV.
I submitted this to Meg awhile back but it never got posted. Tsk tsk.
@faust1200: There we go. Now THATS a GMCH.
Two things: 1) its no worse than Crazy Gideon's in LA currently, 2) Most of the Linda Soundtrack commercials were better than these three.
I liked the old outdated electronics. $1200 for a camrcorder in 1986 prices, wow!
Hey my dad bought one of those huge shoulder mounted camcorders back in 1985 or so. They were really expensive and he had to get the extra battery and they recorded to full-size VHS tapes.
Nowadays you could record to a 2.5" HDD tons of video - even HD quality material.
"Keep your cents! Keep your dollars! Have a camcorderrrrr!" LOL
REQUEST: Those awful 1-800-2 Sell Homes commercials. Wow. The acting is HIDEOUS. And their EVERYWHERE.
oh my , i had almost got the memory of her screeching out of my head :(
Thet even had a promotion where she was voted OFF the air , i dont remember the exact details though ... im much too young for that :)
Did they call that VCR HD?? wow.
Shhh, Linda. Shhhhh.
She certainly didn't sound sick. She sounded like one of the really bad American Idol auditions.
@crashman2600: Not just a camcorder. A MINI camcorder!
@WorkingOnYourInvoice: I believe they called it HQ - as in High Quality. Very 1980's.
