Here's an advert that's currently appearing around Sydney. Interesting mix of photos.

Rob,

Interesting.

Your post reminds me of something (kinda off-topic, but of interest, so I thought I'd mention it). I was at a store named "3 Day Blinds" last month and in their showroom they had a blind which, when closed, is Cernan's famous "John Wayne" pose EVA photo (the one used to create the image seen here). I just looked and found it online. See here.

The link says the commercial is from "circa 1975" but based on the models of cars I see in the add, I estimate 1978 or 1979.

I remember reading about the print ads for this campaign and would love to see a copy of the print ads if there are any out there available, maybe in Look or Life mags.

In the United States, Staples (an office supply store) is running what someone in their organization must think is a FUNNY ad on radio. Neil Armstrong is stepping onto the Moon and the voice over says "we interrupt this broadcast for some real news... STAPLES is running such and such a special on blah, blah, blah", and then when they are done, they say something like, "and now back to that other stuff".

YEECH!
