The "Did you know" thread.....
Ridiculous stuff that you've probably never heard, but is FACT......
A moment in cinema history that is just too ridiculous not to be true. After Universal signed Clint Eastwood in 1954 for the princely sum of $75 a week, which landed him parts in forgettable movies like Revenge of the Creature and Tarantula, a couple of studio execs happened upon him one day and noticed his Adam’s apple. Deciding it was too big, he was out, just like that. The venerable Clint Eastwood was chewed up and spat out by a couple of Hollywood hacks. The rest, as they say, is history. |

Did you know that
'Cute' means Ugly, but interesting?
Not that I ever thought Clint was cute, but someone somewhere, surely ? |

English - that mongrel language
The Swedish company Electrolux ran an advertising campaign in English in western Europe & the U.K. in the 1980s, promoting one of their vacuum cleaners
The advertising slogan was so perfect, Sales rocketed! So they decided to use the exact same advert in North America. (No disrespect to any Swedish members, nor any members who do not speak English as a first language.) I'm no' teacher, I'll allow our north American members explain why the ad-campaign was a disaster... 'Nothing Sucks like an Electrolux' I've tried everywhere on the net to find the original advertisement - I can't find it. But if they had used this image with the same slogan, they could have taken a big share of the North American market that the Hoover company dominate. And being Swedish, you'd think they would have known that this ad would have been a lot better! Kiwi
