Call to action: lets see something scary!
Posted on October 31st, 2006 by admin
It’s Halloween and I’m calling out our readers (yup, all three of you). Your task: share some scary advertising (interpret scary how you will).
My vote goes to Dr. Scholls for their Massaging Gel Insoles commercials. You want to freak someone out for Halloween, make a giant gel insert and run around screaming “Are you gellin’? Are YOU gellin’? ARE YOU GELLIN’???”
I couldn’t find a link to this. Which I guess is a good thing. At least some segment of our society is smart enough not to aid in the propagation of this crap.

C’mon man!
GELLIN LIKE MAGELLAN!
I hear those one show pencils sharpening right now…
True,
The pencils you hear sharpening are the ones I’m going to gouge my eyes out with next time I have to sit through one of those spots. Sorry for the confusion on that one.
I’m gellin like a felon.
Now, I must go slit my wrists. Seriously, they have to know they’re making bullshit crap when they’re doing it. Why don’t they put a stop to it?
the gellin’ stuff worked. it was meant to make fun of… oh nevermind. but as much as it made folks practice swan dives, it also helped sell stuff.
it’s not much different from snoop and lee iacoccoa saying fa shizzle.
