Sixth Finger Commercial

Above: What TV is all about, from MAD Magazine's on-the-mark "Howdy Dooit" parody by Kurtzman & Elder. Image pulled from the Gatochy Blog's Will Elder tribute, wherein you may read the entire parody and more.

I remember wanting some odd things that TV told me to buy when I was a kid, but I had never been exposed to the commercial below. I can't imagine desiring a little peach colored piece of plastic generating such passion.

But, hey, in the 1960s, there wasn't as much going on. At least not in Iowa ....



Unrelated, of course, that OUTER LIMITS episode.
