Two Pictures
Too, too funny — The Daily Show’s John Hodgman appropriated an old George Plimpton Intellivision ad to promote the paperback edition of his book, The Areas of My Expertise. Whoever designed this did an excellent job, although I have to admit that Hodgman looks kind of stiff next to the suavetude that is Plimpton. On his weblog, Hodgman graciously linked to my flickr profile (I uploaded a scan of it to my Videogame Ads 1982 set ten months ago). Now I’m getting lots of flickr traffic — Plimpton’s ad has racked up an impressive 17,663 views. Not bad for a dead guy.
