Vintage 80's Commercial/PSA



Those Mormons had a nice run of memorable commercials in the 80's. They also had the foresight to cast a pre-Michael Jackson, pre-Silver Spoons, pre-Carlton from Fresh Prince, Alfonso Ribeiro as the inner-city hoodlum with a affinity for show-tunes. The Mormons though must have thought the folks in the 80's were pretty morally corrupt though...all their Public Service Announcements were about telling the truth. Now people in the 80's might have been coke-loving, John Hughes (R.I.P.) watching, Wang-Chunging, fashion-misfits, but it's pretty harsh to assume they were all liars. How come we didn't see any P.S.A. commercials regarding polygamy? Apparently, it's okay to keep a harem of women holed up in your Utah cabin, but you're going to hell if you take off running because your paper route isn't going to cover the costs of some geezers broken window. Thankfully, Alfonso saw the light and decided to live the REAL American dream - Big Macs and monogamous underage relationships!
