Arthur C. Clarke, "Watch this space", from a series of stories about an international (American/British/Soviet) Moon expedition.

Yea that's all I want while on vacation at the beach. See "obrits.com" or a new Viagra add.

Funny that both stories mentioned above involve soda advertisement.

Be funny if they put a big "vaginal" cream add up there in space.

Clarke was a socialist plagerist.

I don't even care if he's an old wheelchair pedophile, I simply like some of his books very much.

One of the first sci-fi books that I have read, "Moon dust", had the story I mentioned together with others.

Boroda is ok.. for a vodka slurpin commie martyr empire lovin red kinko weirdo anti-capatalist pinhead retrograde sputnick humping babushka wearing cross-dressing phreak.

If I ever get to Moscow before Putin drops the iron curtain again I'm sure we'd have a blast gettin dookie-faced on potato vodka at some dismal lil basement ****-hole emporium and standing nose to nose shouting appropriate propaganda slogans to each other at the top of our lungs till we got hoarse.

Then we'd go out and get laid by some capitalistc moscow truckdrivin potatos and have breakfast at the Moscow Denny's.

When will it stop? Don't they get us enough on radio tv and internet? Maybe we'd all be better of communist just because if everything is owned by the state, they don't have to advertise.

of course i don't mean that..but ad execs are exceeded as slimeballs only by lawyers

Thanks, Hang, but please - no potato vodka

If you insist - I'll find you some cheap poison for $1 per half-litre, but it's too extreme for me

As for adverdising - we really didn't have TV commercials in Soviet times, and only 1-2 pages of advertising in some magazines, usually pretty stupid, like "Fly Aeroflot!", as if you could fly anything else.

I think it's hard for Western people to imagine all TV programms never interrupted by commercials...
