msc 18,445 Posted March 15, 2018 It was a famous series of adverts. iirc they ran into the late 90s until the actor died? He was very old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted March 15, 2018 I just thought I'd been Mandela Effected by that advert because I swear I remember it coming on TV for the first time even though I was less than one in 1983, but apparently the second version of the ad did come on TV in 1991. Don't remember this one though: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 18, 2018 (No WTC or 9/11 or Sept 11 thread??) New York City firefighter Thomas Phelan, who evacuated hundreds of people from Manhattan during the 9/11 attacks while working as a ferry captain, died Friday. Phelan, 45, died of cancer. Phelan was working as a Statue of Liberty ferry captain on Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorists flew two jetliners into the World Trade Center. Phelan turned the boat into a rescue vehicle and played a key role in evacuating people stranded in Lower Manhattan. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm Well Ronald Reagan's favourite joke involved a Russian guy blowing his mate out for an appointment about a year ahead because it clashed with having the emergency plumber round.

Sir Creep, if a site contains the word "dead" in his name it does not mean it's necessarily a deadpooling site. Deadline is a Hollywood gossip site like TMZ, so everyone should be free to cite them.

It may not be a deadpooling site in the strict sense, but it IS a deadpooling site minus the game of deadpooling, make no mistake. It is more of a death fanzine site. I don't see it as a 'gossip' site or in any way like TMZ. But your interpretation is noted. And now so is mine.

SC Deadline is a website that is used by many in the Film and TV industry with related stories (which would clearly include deaths), box office takings, business news etc etc. Not a deadpooling site. A story about the cast of Stranger Things on that website is likely to mention them signing new contracts, detail filming locations, show number of viewers on Netflix or give information on pay negotiations. Any deadpooling website would only be interested in whether any of the cast won’t be around for Series 3!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
