Last month’s Fake Ad for Mickey’s Heating and Cooling on page 48 of the June Observer elicited 196 correct responses.
“Could the mouse be any cuter and could you make it any easier for us with the past month winner’s last name spelled out in the last line?!” asks Lynn Palacios. “You also included a play on the famous line from The Mickey Mouse Club TV show in the 1950s, ‘Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!’”
“It was delightful to have someone appreciate & expound on my (obvious) quirky sense of humor!” writes Brenda Nimke. “So, is this month’s Fake Ad Bionicc Body Screening? Nope. It looks legit. Dr. Olsen, DDS? No. I signed up for Invisalign last year with his office based on his ad in your publication! (Love to hear that, right?) Drat. Where is it?!? …
“Oh, there it is! Mickey’s Heating & Cooling! Ha! Sowfront Blvd? You think you’re sooo funny! Using a pic of a real mouse for Mickey Mousigian?!? I guess s/he is keeping cool in those shades! It’s probably best you went with that line of inspiration; an ad that would not have been held in high regards in A2… mouse extermination!”
Our winner, Betsy Williams, is taking her gift certificate to Schuler Books.
