Christmas Retro Advertising.

I'd forgotten about these until searching my Christmas label/tags: Retro Christmas Ads; Click HERE.

Lionel Train "James Gang" Retro Christmas Commercial.

I'm guessing this ad is circa late 1970s-early 80s according to a search on the Lionel's James Gang model or line.

Commodore 1983 Retro Christmas Commercial.

That ad is 1983. It's 2019. What do you think those now-adult kids are doing for jobs? Wrong answers (comments) always appreciated.

Hoover 1961 Christmas Commercial.

No, Mom doesn't want a vacuum for Christmas.

Atari 1983 Christmas Commercial

Who could have imagined tech and graphics would get better than that?

This might make gift-buying easy for Christmas! Retro Commercial.

Lucky Strikes Retro Christmas Commercial

..."Merry Christmas and Happy Smoking 200 times." Now that's damn fine Ad Agency copy (script).

WTAE Pittsburgh: Former Vice President Joe Biden may declare he's running for president Wednesday.

Published reports say former Vice President Joe Biden will hold a rally in Pittsburgh Wednesday afternoon after first declaring his candidacy for president in Charlottesville, Virginia, but no local elected officials, Democratic Party leaders, labor leaders or political consultants so far have confirmed it.
[.]
"Joe Biden is Pittsburgh. He speaks about everything we are. We're so proud to have him here," said Darrin Kelly, of the Allegheny/Fayette Central Labor Council, following Biden's participation in the 2018 Labor Day Parade.

"We'll follow anything he does, and we'll see what the future holds," Kelly said at the time.

Just don't follow him to The Shady Rest Hotel.

Creepy Uncle Joe

Iowahr=Iowa=Votes first.

And...The Junction.

UPDATE

Washington Examiner: Biden cancels campaign launch from Charlottesville.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has canceled plans to launch his 2020 bid for the White House in Charlottesville, Va., where a woman protesting a white nationalist rally was murdered when a car was driven into a crowd of activists in 2017.

The last-minute change of plan could be an indication of disorganization in the Biden campaign organization[.]
[.]
With no direct connection to Charlottesville, some viewed the move as disrespectful and capitalizing on the death of activist Heather Heyer, 32, during the "Unite the Right" rally in August 2017.

Biden spokesman Bill Russo confirmed to the Washington Examiner that Biden would not announce in Charlottesville, Va. Instead, he is expected to declare his candidacy in Pittsburgh[.]

Does this mean that in the future, no political campaign of any candidate will be launched from a city or town where a tragic event occurred?

Applying this standard equally, I guess no political candidate will ever again announce their bid from Chicago and New York.

(The) Answer to SPOT the Blooper - Continuity error.

First, from the comments on the original post, some folks out there with really keen eyes!

Her slacks change colors? - Zack

The champagne is very bubbly when poured , but totally flat when they clink glasses ? - jerseygirlangie

He's got his cane in his left hand in the long shot and magically is holding the champagne glass in the next close shot. - RJ

He is originally holding the glass with the left palm facing to the viewer. At the clinking of the glasses, the viewer sees the back of his right hand now holding the glass. - Anonymous

 Here's the clip:

The Continuity error I noticed, the reason for the original posting on this, comes 26 - 29 seconds (+/- a second) into the clip.

As the champagne is being poured (at 26 seconds), Steed is holding his glass in his LEFT hand. In the next shot, fading-in from "black", as Anonymous noted, Steed is holding the glass in his RIGHT hand. And, he's wearing a glove, which he wasn't wearing in the previous shot. Mrs. Peele looks like she might be wearing a glove, or, her hand is deliberately unlit.

RJ's comment on the umbrella (or cane) is something I never would have noticed. There may be more. If you see one, leave a comment. Thanks.

Last Call for SPOT The Blooper, or find others that no one has seen.

Last call to anyone who wants to take a shot and spot the continuity error in the short video clip at this post.

There have been some really sharp eyes out there from people who left comments at that post pointing out continuity errors that I never noticed. But they aren't the one that I mean.
 
Take a guess and leave a comment. I'll publish the answer this evening.

Can YOU Spot The Continuity Error?

Up late, awake? If you have insomnia or a hard time sleeping, (me too), well, here's something to take a shot at. Spot the Continuity Error.

I remember on TV The Avengers. I ran across The Avengers on some local channel recently, only they were black and white episodes. I don't remember any of those. The ones I watched were in color. We'd return from Sunday Mass just in time to watch it on some local TV channel, it started at 11AM. I had to be....7, 8 years old? I thought it was a great show.

So I looked it up on YTube. Spotted a continuity error in the opening. There might be more, I dunno. But there's one that really sticks out.

Can YOU spot it? Leave a comment. I'll give the answer later.
