Ad Revivalism: You're No Jane Rivers!

  3. I still remember the "Mr. Muscle" commercial with Charlotte Rae. "'Be a good cook,' Mother said. 'You'll get a man.' What did I get? Twenty-five years with my head in a dirty oven, scraping, scrubbing! This is marriage?..." Of course, nowadays they couldn't air such politically incorrect stuff!
