Oh What A World We Lived In.

[Cormac135]

Lets take it to the recent past...and fat people.....

THIS is who they want you to believe sang the songs..they lip synch...they show this no talent skinny bitch on the album cover and in the video...

...and THIS is who really sang it...Martha Wash was one of Sylvester's back up singer and one of the two ladies who made up The Weather Girls...they wanted her talent but thought she was too fat to be seen....

Oh knew about the Martha one, not the other fraud though.

I know, it'd be somewhat understandable if she owned the company and was behind it all but i doubt that.

No wonder the company changed to a nice little jingle:

"Aunt Jemima pancakes without her syrup
Are like the spring without the fall.
There's only one thing worse in this universe
And that's no Aunt Jemima at all."

Reminds me of the graffiti that I saw half a century ago when I was in college:
Oh I'd hate to be an Oscar Meyer wiener,
That is what I'd truly hate to be.
For if I were an Oscar Meyer wiener,
Soon there would be nothing left of me.

I remember the Mad Magazine parody of one of their ads, and they were renamed as Marble Row cigarettes. (Marble Row? Think of tombstones in a cemetery.) I think the parody changed the "flip-top box" into a coffin...

Was this real?

Fraid so.

Cream of Wheat (I)

Product: Cereal
Circa: 1910s

Rastus, the unfortunately named face of Cream of Wheat, demonstrates his poor English in this early ad. He still appears on iconography associated with the brand.

This was not that long ago.
