If that were serious, it would remind me of the insurance company that bought a stake in a company that manufactured laser speed guns then donated them to police departments all over the country on the condition that they be used every day

As American consumers, we have a trained eye. An ad’s headline always goes in a certain spot and it’s always larger than the logo.

So sez this former copywriter. 😊

The vaccinated will laugh and remember the Funeral Home and everyone else will get pissed off and remember the Funeral Home!

Not a real funeral home, but a clever way to spread the word about how to get vaccinated. Not too popular with the virus spreaders, but I got a kick out of it.

They are bound to wander into traffic or take a bath with a toaster before long.


There is a funeral home from my wife's home town in WNY that bears the name of the family that founded it and still runs it. Amigone.
