Day 158 - The family that sprays together, stays together!
Year: 1996
Junior high student Amanda McConnell has an assignment to produce and record a product advertisement on video. She creates the 1 minute spot "Spiffy Spray" and gets an A+. The Spiffy Spray jingle:
For a shine that never ends
Go get your Spiffy Spray, my friends
And when you start using it
You'll never want to stop
You'll spray and shine and shine and spray
Go get yours now TODAY!
Year: 2008
Pool-shark support agent Amanda McConnell wants to give her folks the gift of a digital copy of the "Spiffy Spray" video, and enlists the help of a coworker who she thinks can rip the VHS tape to DVD. Coworker turns to me and says, "Where can we find a VCR at this hour?" Hunting high and low in the five story building, we find a projector connected to a VCR in a meeting room, and I whip out my new cell phone to test its video abilities. The tape quality and tracking isn't great and so the VCR keeps dropping the picture, which the projector replaces with its no-signal default of the Dell logo. (We laugh at the suggestion that this is subliminal marketing.) The video comes off my phone and onto the coworker's computer, to soon find its way to YouTube (in the coworker's account). The next day, Amanda gets the surprise world premiere... and a new camera-shy version debuts.

The only video store in town that will still be standing five years from now, and possibly the only video store in the world where the word 'video' will still be included in the name and vhs tapes will still outnumber dvd's. Maybe the lights on the sign will actually be fixed by then.
