this morning rules.

why does this morning rule?

becuase they finally have a Dirt Cheap ad on YouTube!

i love Dirt Cheap ads. Dirt Cheap is a liquor store in the st. louis area. they run these hilarious Bad Locally Produced Ads on television, featuring the owner [Dirt Cheap Fred] and the Dirt Cheap Chicken. this blog's name, "the last refuge of the persecuted crack smoker," is a takeoff on one of their taglines, which refers to Dirt Cheap as "the last refuge of the persecuted smoker." "cheap! cheap! fun! fun!," the subheading on the blog, is their slogan.

in short, i love these ads, and i'm so glad there's finally one that i can post here. you can all finally revel in the amusement of these ads that i have loved for so long.

I think we used to get sale ads from these guys (or someone like them) in the Sunday Peoria Journal Star. And by sale ads I mean a one sheet, printed on heavy yellow paper that looked like WWII recycled plywood, that was just a long list of liquor brands and prices with the occasional picture of a bottle of wine or six pack.

I always kind of suspected it was some sort of poorly informed attempt by aliens to harvest Earth's poorest drunken people, though I could never figure out why they'd want to.
