That Commercial Could Be Worth Money!

     Growing up in the Chicagoland area, there are certain commercials that stick with you.  The Empire Carpet commercial(or more specifically the jingle at the end).  The Luna Commercial(or once again, the jingle) is another legendary earworm. But in the category of commercials that get stuck in your head, nothing takes the cake quite like this:
     Victory Auto Wreckers has used the above commercial continuously since 1985, only replacing the narrator over the intervening time.  Originally it was made by pulling a Victory tow truck driver(Bob Azajdel) off of his shift and having him film the spot.  He was paid $25 for his time, and the rest was history.  Now, 30 years later, Victory is celebrating the commercial by asking for new ones!  Just send your idea over to Victory, and it could win $500 and be featured in a new ad.
