In July 2007, I received an email from Lew Wood, the actor who appears in this commercial. He tells:

I am the guy tha D-D-B chose to be the spokesman for that famous “Floating VW” TV commercial in June , 1972.
My name is Lew Wood, and I was doing commercials and V/O’s in NYC when I was booked for the job. We shot it at a launching ramp in Stamford, CT on LI Sound. The production crew was Horn-Greiner. Director Norm Greiner. D-D-B’s creative director was Tom Yobaggy. And even Mr. Bernbach was on the location!
They hired a stuntman to drive the VW into the water. However, Norm Greiner suddenly woke up to the fact that I had to deliver that last line “Now, what other car gives you this kind of quality at this kind of price?” from the car! I said, “Norm, I’m a sailor, I’m at home on the water. I’ll drive it in!”
I splashed it three times. (We used three identical Beetles, all burnt orange in color. Splashed two of them alternately, the third never got wet and was used for “beauty shots.” Swimmers went in to tow them back to shore after each take.
We all thought our commercial would win the “Clio” that year, but the “Snowplow” commercial took the prize.
However, the residuals were nice!
After many years of searching for a 1972 Super Beetle in burnt orange with NO RUST, I finally found one a few years ago in Vista, CA, and snapped it up. I now proudly drive around town frequently and get admiring looks.
Now, you know “the rest of the story!”

This commercial has a surprise in it. At the and you can watch a beetle being driven into the water. Funny is the text in the commercial says: allthough the beetle does definately float, it will not float indefinately. Fun!

From the DVD ‘Legend on wheels’. Wanna have this DVD packed with 2 hours of high quality digitally remastered old vw commercials? The DVD really brings you back to the ’60s and ’70s. Send an email to: beetlejuice150@hotmail.com

King Mike Bloomberg and his mini-me need to be drug tested or impeached giving out raises when we are in a recession and New Yorkers are being laid off, fired or asked to take a pay cut.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVBApub6xOc
The YouTube link above is about the Village Voice piece exposing Quinn padding her campaign staff with her City Hall staff…nice to know she gave them raises. Do you think that is incentive to get out there and campaign hard.

Please go down to towards the bottom for important links you read the articles.

Check out the links to Benjamin Lesser’s powerful pieces on city council members including Christine Quinn and Melinda Katz taking large campaign contributions from developers. No wonder city council turns a deaf ear to the people they are supposed to be favoring rather than developers. Our socialite city planner and Mike Bloomberg give their good friends NYU, Cooper Union and Columbia U. priority over the safety and well being of New Yorkers but so do some city council members because they are getting what appears to be kick backs or commission or do you call it a campaign contribution.

The term limits votes are tainted and must be tossed…

How fitting underscores my point about the Bloomberg administration’s reckless tsunami of community crushing development where they did not put safety and infrastructure first – the put the developer first not the people of New York!

The Wayne Madsen Report says that the CIA used Blackwater linked mercenaries as journalists in order to gather intelligence. Allegedly, two people working as sub-contractors to the CIA had significant links to Blackwater’s operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq. So who are these individuals, what kinds of links did they have to these operations, and how were these agencies able to get away with this? RT’s Dina Gusovsky gets all the details from investigative journalist and RT contributor Wayne Madsen.

DOTS THOUGHT~ THE OLD DOCKERS ADS ARE “YUMMY MANLY” HOW MANLY DO YOU WANT IT ?….. LIKE THE NEW RAISIN GIRL lol AD And OTHER NEW ADS ? SEX WILL NOT SELL THOES PANTS OR THOES RAISINS.. BUT OF COURSE ADVERTISMENTS WILL KEEP TRYING. OK IM DONE!
(some videos need to be more clearer a updated video is coming) Hope That Clears These Videos Up.

Ad Rant: Dockers ads claim “soft” khakis will make men more manly
WalletPop – ‎Dec 7, 2009‎
Do you think the Dockers ad campaign is sexist? The ads also take an unnecessary swipe at gay men through the use of common wink-wink stereotypes. …
FIRST, Justin Timberlake brought sexy back. Now, Dockers will try to bring khaki back.
Dockers ad is asking men to be more manly
Dockers Puts Men in Their Place With Man-Ifesto Advertising
The newest ad for Dockers has the world talking.

Evidently, men’s testosterone levels have been dropping, and so have sales of khaki pants. Coincidence? Dockers thinks not.

Dockers, the clothing manufacturer that once put the “casual” in casual Fridays, sees a connection-at least the kind you can use to fuel an ad campaign. They’re planning to reverse society’s terrible double trend by teaching today’s men how to be men and how to dress with a slogan that flirts with being sexist: “Wear the Pants.”

“It’s time to answer the call of manhood,” proclaims one of the new ads. It’s nice to know that answering the call of manhood no longer has to involve winning at arm-wrestling when all you have to do is buy more khakis from Dockers.

Manning up has never been simpler.

The campaign debuted in early December, and the roll-out will include print, TV and billboards, plus a return to airtime during the Holy Grail of manly-man spectaculars: the Superbowl.

Here’s the full “Man-ifesto” posted on the Dockers website:

“Once upon a time, men wore the pants, and wore them well. Women rarely had to open doors and little old ladies never crossed the street alone. Men took charge because that’s what they did. But somewhere along the way, the world decided it no longer needed men.”

Oh, goodie! A return to the grand old days when women weren’t allowed to vote! It also sounds suspiciously like the successful media campaign after World War II that sought to convince women that it was more feminine (not to mention patriotic) to give up their jobs to men returning from war, and go back to doing more womanly things, like vacuuming the rug.

Just because the Docker ads are tongue in cheek does not mean they’re not sexist. It’s one thing to encourage men to man up, another to tell them to “wear the pants” — an expression that taps directly into the old question: “Who wears the pants in this family?” There are only two possible answers: the man of the house, or the woman who has been stealing his thunder. “Wear the pants” is a call to arms, even when used jokingly, that says the only way to be a man is to put women in their place. That’s right, women are too weak to open doors for themselves!
The ads also take an unnecessary swipe at gay men through the use of common wink-wink stereotypes. According to Dockers, a real man doesn’t eat at salad bars or order non-fat lattes.

If Dockers is going to make he-men of their customers, they certainly have their work cut out for them. They have launched a new line of “soft khakis” to compete with runaway sales of jeans. They’ll have to find a way of linking hot-blooded masculinity to “soft” fabrics “in a sophisticated palette of colors,” including “Cottonwood” and “Oregano.” (True, they also have “Marine” and “Leather,” but it sounds as if “Oregano” is meant for the sap at the salad bar.)

In an interview with Brandweek, Jennifer Sey, the company’s vice president of global marketing, listed the traits of “the modern idea of a man,” the kind who really should be stocking up on several pairs of khakis in a sophisticated palette of colors. She put “sensitivity, chivalry, ambition, decisiveness” on her wish list. She also said that the new promos are meant to “inspire today’s men to be men.” This may prove worrisome to the company’s female customers. What will Dockers do with their women’s line of “Metro pants” that come in that feminine hue of “Cavalry”?

Dockers already has a lock on a certain kind of customer, those middle-aged men who, in Sey’s words, “want to look good, but not stand out.” Now they’re going after younger men, “more style-involved, not style-leading.”

In other words, Dockers has no desire to be cutting-edge. They just want a few good men to step up to the plate. In khakis, of course.

The article about from The Epoch Times is the only one to cover me and the woman with her daughter protesting the sanitation build. Bravo!

Newest Christine Quinn scandal exposed by the Village Voice and read the NY Daily News links to read about the scandal of city council members taking money aka campaign contributions from developers including Quinn and her relationship with Dermott as exposed by Benjamin Lesser stinks of a dirty rotten scandal as well.

I stop in solidarity with protestors trying to save Coney Island.

I am extremely exhausted and it was difficult to do this because of exhaustion and stress fighting NYU and Cooper Union’s community crushing development and city wide — Mike Bloomberg betrayed my vote.

http://noticingnewyork.blogspot.com/2009/07/jane-jacobs-way-for-coney-island.html

It was laughable and yet horrifying they way Jane Jacobs name was bandied about and the sheer denial of politicos pretending the Bloomberg-Quinn did not sell out and destroy New York to greedy developers from right under the people of New York’s feet including how many eminent domain abuse battles going on right now here in NYC?

The Full Interview Of Chet about hard rain and you also get to see the chainsaw!!

Rate Comment And Subscribe!

Thanks For All The Viewers In Advance!

This is the amazing sequel of the best seller game and best action game of 2008 Left 4 Dead.
By the time you read this, Valve will have announced the existence of Left 4 Dead 2 at Microsoft’s E3 press conference. By watching the announcement trailer, you’ll discover that there are new characters, special zombies, and even melee weapons like a chain saw.
With five new campaigns, as opposed to the original’s four. Each campaign will have support for four-player co-op, as well as Versus mode and Survival mode. There is one new gameplay mode that is not being revealed at this time. There are four new characters, new weapons, entirely new melee weapons, and new items. On the flip side, there are new zombies, new special zombies, and a bunch of new gameplay mechanics designed to disrupt many of the tactics and exploits that players have discovered in the first game.
Left 4 Dead 2 is set in the American South; there’s going to be more of a narrative thread that connects the campaigns this time around, as opposed to just the seemingly random campaigns of the first game. The story starts in Savannah and works its way to New Orleans. The Savannah campaign is intriguing because all Chet would say is that it’s a city where the zombie infection hasn’t hit yet. We played the New Orleans campaign, called The Parish. It represents the final map in the narrative: the goal is to battle your way through the city, including the famed French Quarter, to reach a military helicopter for extraction. In between, it sounds like there may also be a swamp-based campaign, but that’s all we know for now.
The Parish is takes place in full daylight. Yes, the zombies may like to come out at night, but they’re apparently not indisposed to tearing your guts out in the middle of the day. While it’s weird to be battling zombies while the sun is still up, it’s certainly pretty; there’s something about the friscalating dusklight that makes you want to stop shooting zombies for half a second and just soak it all in. Not every campaign is set during the day, but it does make for a nice change of atmosphere. It also affects the gameplay, as zombies can behave differently during the day. The biggest example of that is the Witch; during the night she likes to sit and cry. However, during the day she likes to wander around like a homeless old woman and cry, and that’s a big recipe for trouble.
Valve is introducing melee weapons. We played with an axe and a frying pan, but there’s going to be a chainsaw and a baseball bat as well. The idea behind melee weapons is that they can one-hit kill most of the special zombie types, but not the Tank or the Witch. This makes them useful if you’re low on ammo or you’re in a spot where lots of gunfire spraying around is a bad thing (like that aforementioned parking lot). Finally, there are going to be special items that can give you a temporary boost; in our case we got incendiary rounds that sets zombies aflame when you hit them. The thing is that you only get about 50 incendiary rounds before you run out, and you can’t save them for later use. Once you get them, you have to use them.
