                                 -
In response to  some  netters'  observations  of  lunatic  Germer's
advertising:

I thought I left moronic TV ads back in New York when  I  moved  to
Colorado Springs.  WRONG-O buckeroos.  Germers is based in Colorado
Springs and Pueblo (both Colorado) and has been there for at  least
5  years.   I  guess that wacko got his training at the Crazy Eddie
School of Pithy and Intellectual Salespersonship.

There is a T-Shirt shop in Colorado Springs that sells "I HATE GER-
MERS  COMMERCIALS"  shirts,  if  you  *really* want to express your
irritation (other than staying away from the store).

It has been said that the purpose of advertising is to get the con-
sumer  to remember a name.  The obnoxious method of shouting a mes-
sage, accompanied by nitwit antics must be  effective,  eh?   We're
discussing it, aren't we?
