I’ve shared this true story with several people over the years, but I don’t believe I’ve ever mentioned it on this blog.<\/p>\n

A while ago, one of my Radio Advertising Letter<\/a> subscribers wrote to me to say how much he loved my Bad Commercial Generator<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

He tried it out, thought it was funny, and went into his sales manager’s office.<\/p>\n

“You’ve got to see this,” <\/em>he said. And he used the manager’s computer go online and demonstrate it.<\/p>\n

Within a couple of minutes, they had created a gloriously bad commercial.<\/p>\n
