Holy Crap! A friend of mine in Chicago just emailed me to say that he saw my White Castle ad during the Simpsons! He didn't know I'd done it, so it was extra shocking for him. :)
You must have a tape of that! The Simpsons ep with your commercial in it? Your Simpsonian collection would be incomplete without it.
Jon, was that this week's Simpsons? or last weeks? (A friend of mine has last week's (both episodes) on tape. Recorded from satellite TV, which I suppose would have different commercials from broadcast TV.)
Tommy, I'm guessing that it played during one of the many reruns of old episodes that air during the week, but I don't know that for sure. I'll ask.
Yep, I was right. From my friend Marc:
I saw it around 5:20pm on Fox 32 here in Chicago
My Chicago friend just told me the sweetest story:
just an fyi , when i first saw the ramones in 1982? at Metro, me and my friend went to see them and on the way home we stopped at a White Castle and we're eating our sliders and the Ramones actually walked in for some burgers. I must've been 17, best rock experience with White Castle until you of course ;-)
Jon's a star!! And way old. ;) (I'm actively ignoring my 20th HS reunion this year.)
Must have been the White Castle on Addison.
ETA I gotta email my Chicago friends and tell them to stop fast forwarding through commercials.
For those of you that are Lyle Lovett fans, what are your favorite songs of his?
That's great, Jon. Mark the event with some new pornography.
