Watchlords

You all know how I feel about the Peanuts characters; here's a few commercials made before, apparently, A Charlie Brown Christmas. They were shilling for the Ford Falcon, which might well have been a piece of fucking shit:

My folks had a 64 Falcon until I figured out how to get it out of gear and roll down the driveway. Plowed over a tree and some bushes but the neighbors house ended my joyride before I got to the road. It wasn't my fault, I was too short to see over the steering wheel.

That's a brutal thread subject.
