I've seen an ad with Humphrey Bogart in it, and he's deteriorated a
lot more.

How many sales do you think they'd get if they showed her now instead of
the original commercial?

What I love is how many *different* incarnations it's gone through over
the years (e.g. in the mid-90s, after Liz would say "These have always
brought me luck...", they dubbed in a male voice who immediately
followed up Liz with an "I'll bet!"). And that's not the only iteration
of that ad that's been aired over the years...

I dunno - if they showed that Liz clip that Joel McHale is always
showing on "The Soup" they'd sell a lot of... well, *something*! ;)

1991!?!?!?!
Oh, it's older than THAT!

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

None of these hold a candle to the Discount Tire commercial where the old
lady returns the tire by throwing it through the front window of the store.
That one is about 35 years old.

Oh, and by the way- Liz isn't just the Liz of today, we must encompass
her whole span of creative endeavor.
In the bell curve that has been her femaleness there is a very high
water mark of Hotness in the ramp up to the Zenith.
