| Get
a Free Monkey
Well,
I am just a monkey man
I’m glad you are a monkey woman too
Rolling
Stones, Monkey Man
This
is the greatest ad. You could get a free monkey just for getting people
to sign up for a photo enlargement service. (There is always a catch.)
I kind of get the feeling that nobody ever got a free monkey
from these people but they probably got a lot of kids to send in a handful
of orders (but never quite enough) and at the end of the day all of those
little orders probably added up quite nicely.
How many kids got involved
with this company only to recruit 5 or 6 customers before their parents
found out? How many kids almost got away with it? How many monkeys were
really given away? Was the supply really limited or were they just saying
that? I don't suppose we'll ever know.
