Wink 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.

'Cute' means Ugly, but interesting?

Not that I ever thought Clint was cute, but someone somewhere, surely ?

Arrow 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!

Ask all the women he has slept with. Alot like the hard, craggy face look plus he is/was a star.

Interesting, that would mean that ´Il buono il brutto il cattivo´ The good the bad the ugly, would eventually be, The good the bad the ´cute´, but interesting.

Did you know that nothing is impossible.
Just improbable.. unless it's feeling pain without suffering.
