I saw Plans for building a TV Commercial Silencer in Mad... I took Apart my Parent's TV and Installed a Switch on a Long Wire... Without Breaking the TV or Getting Electrocuted... and We Enjoyed Silence During TV Commercials for Years... Nowadays, Every remote has a MUTE Button... But Mad Magazine was Way Ahead of Its Time... With a DIY Plans Cartoon... I've Never Been Able to Find a Copy of those Plans... If you HAVE Them... Email Me: gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]com or Leave a Comment Below!
Don Martin Cartoon - In the Operating Room
Classic Poetry Satire!
On Dreaming, After Falling Asleep Watching TV
'Twas Brillo, and the G.E. Stoves,
Did Procter-Gamble in the Glade;
All Pillsbury were the Taystee loaves
And in a Minute Maid.
Did Procter-Gamble in the Glade;
All Pillsbury were the Taystee loaves
And in a Minute Maid.
"Beware the Station-Break, my son,
The voice that lulls, the ads that vex!
Beware the Doctors Claim, and shun
That horror called Brand-X!"
He took his Q-Tip'd swab in hand;
Long time the Tension Headache fought--
So Dristan he by a Mercury,
And Bayer-break'd in thought.
And as in Bufferin Gulf he stood
The Station-Break, with Rise of Tame,
Came Wisking through the Pride-hazed wood,
And Creme-Rinsed as it came!
Buy one! Buy two! We're almost through!
The Q-Tip'd Dash went Spic and Span!
He Tide Air-Wick, and with Bisquick
Went Aero-Waxing Ban.
"And hast thou Dreft the Station-Break?
Ajax the Breck, Excedrin boy!
Oh, Fab wash day, Cashmere Bouquet!"
He Handi-Wrapped in Joy.
'Twas Brillo, and the G.E. Stoves
Did Procter-Gamble in the Glade;
All Pillsbury were the Taystee loaves,
And in a Minute Maid.
