Well, not really since anyone responsible for this has probably been 6 feet under since 1974. A friend e-mailed this to me a few weeks ago and I didn't think much of it at the time but I pulled it back up this morning and I've now decided that it's the funniest ad I've ever seen.
For anyone who may be visually challenged, the brother's response when overhearing that the bride on her honeymoon has a cold is as follows...
Pahdon me fo' overhearin' yo but Sal Hepatica does BOTH those things. It's a min'ral salt laxative and it helps nature counteract acidity, too. Las' trip a doctah tole me.
So, I'm trying desperately to figure out what's funnier:
a) The blatant racism.
b) The Porter not being able to pronounce words like "for" and "you" but busting out "it helps nature counteract acidity."
c) The idea that we used to take laxatives to cure a cold.
Speaking of the funniest things ever, as recently as yesterday, people are still leaving comments on this blog for Chris Benoit asking him why he had to die.

I think it was Assman using an alias. He clearly wishes Benoit could die all over again just for kicks.

There's no doubt that it's incredibly racist, but I actually read the porter's dialogue and hear Foghorn Leghorn talking. "I say, I say it's a mineral salt laxative."

Chris Benoit was a great man. He was about to expose the WWF consoiracy. That's why they killed him, as well as his family as a warning to others.

I think it was Vandalay. How else could he know the guy left a comment?
And I'll remember that laxatives used to be given out for colds the next time my doctor prescribes a steroid for me.

Five most recent comments, my man.
Hey by the way, since he could care less about his homeys over here at the AofG, you all should know that Assman just became a father again. Another girl. He's fucked.

Oh yeah. I had another kid. She's happy and healthy.
And, since I have to announce everything in the world, I'm publishing a post on AofG tonight, probably at around 8 EST.
