        The double tails thing is sometimes normal/used, but that missing end quote for sure is a boo boo.

        Still, pretty good all things considered. Wonder what model was used.

        The double tails are because the house is also sentient and speaking in unison with the Kool Aid man

        This is an example of it going poorly but advertisers to an extent do it on purpose. Kool-aid gets used to refer to powdered drink mixes like band-aid is used to refer to adhesive bandages and, in some regions, coke is used to refer to soda in general. The idea is to become so associated with the concept as to overshadow the competition.

          At the same time, lawyers also fight the phenomenon because if your product name becomes the concept itself it loses all trademark enforcement. There’s a chart posted on this site somewhere that shows words losing trademark status because of court rulings, but I guess I didn’t save it. The term is “genericized trademark”.

      “While initially gleeful at the imminent damage to his competitor’s brand, Kool-Aid Man would soon be confronted with the irony inherent in his own vast advantage in consumer mind-share.”

    Maybe everyone should listen to the Jonestown tape at some point. It’s truly horrible, but may provide some inoculation against demagoguery.

      Jim Jones and I both went to Indiana University (I also grew up in that university’s town, Bloomington), and now I live in Terre Haute, Indiana, which has the federal prison where Timothy McVeigh was executed and a school for “troubled” teens that Charles Manson once got sent to.

      I can’t help it if mass murder surrounds me, right?
