Back on yesterday’s post about cringe-inducing ads from the past, Burl left a link to the truly awesome specimen above.
He found it on a site called “Lard Lovers: A network to help you find organic lard in America.”
Wanting to share the joy, I sent the link to our friendly neighborhood organic, free-range hog grower, Emile DeFelice. I figured that I might have identified a great new potential market for Caw Caw Creek Farm.
He responded:
What a classic pic! Thanks for sharing that – the great thing about the pig is that every part has a fan club.
That Emile is a crafty marketer, who’s always got his eye on the main chance. He knows on which side his bread is larded…

Now I want some of Emile’s sausage… Sooooo good…
Chris–is that a man’s or a woman’s name? Emile is straight as far as I know….oh, you mean a meat product…
The ad is amazing because it looks like they have glasses of lard and because they have English teeth–such uneven teeth would never be allowed on spokesmodels in the US of A!
That was bad, Kathryn. But I laughed.
I vaguely remember seeing non-perfect people in an American ad, but it was for a used-car dealership in California. Go See Cal
That can’t be a real advertisement, it’s got to be some sort of Photoshop…
LOL… Any other blog I would have thought of that response before posting and rephrased… Good one…
Anywho… The man makes some fine Italian sausage… Grilled up with some sauteed peppers and onions… Mmmmmmm…
