There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I don't know what's worse.. P posting this... or me admitting I have "Block Buster 20 Original Hits"
I think I might have that album at my parents house (also)
The local record store owner (who I really respected his opinion on music), "Rocking Rudy", would have thrown me out of his store faster than the "Soup Nazi" on 'Seinfeld' if I had wanted to buy anything from K-Tel.
However I do vividly remember the commercial for the second video, and could sit here and quote it word for word still, because they would run it ceaselessly on late night television on 2 of the 3 channels we had. The third was PBS. :mixedsmi:

An interesting side note, the voice over for the Block Buster 20 video was done by a local
Winnipeg DJ named Bob Washington who worked for CJOB radio for years. K-Tel's world
headquarters was in Winnipeg then and as far as I know it's still there. I remember Bob
remarking how he really thought he made it big when the SCTV guys started spoofing him
with their "Harvey K-Tel" skits...
