Central Furniture - "Central Man" (Commercial, 1980)

Views: 706

Here's a commercial for Central Furniture located at 1348 North Milwaukee Avenue - using a rip-off of Superman (no doubt properly licensed from DC Comics). Hard to believe, but I checked and 28 years later they are still in business at the same location!

Views: 1294

Here is a very provocative political ad from the Mondale/Ferraro campaign - featuring shots of children interspersed with ICBM's launching and ending with nuclear devastation, all to a soundtrack of Crosby, Stills and Nash's "Teach Your Children".
