about past mistakes and embar
rassments? The Caswell Life Edit
ing System is just for you. Because
it directly interfaces with your mem
ory, this system “not only removes
offending material from your mem
ory, but automatically ‘splices’ your
life back together for a seamless
and superior version of a personal
reality.”
Finding it impossible to keep up
with all the news of the world? It
could be time to purchase “The
Wide World of Everything,” a vide
ocassette documentary that “cov
ers every subject known to man in
a single one-hour show.”
Those are only a small sam
pling of the products available in
“Not Available in Any Store,” which
offers “96 BIG PAGES of Personal
Fulfillment.”
Composed largely of garish
1950s pulp magazine advertising
send ups, this book is a farcical
romp through the consumer-ori
ented unconsciousness of the nu
clear family.
The advertising style is familiar
to all of us who collected comics in
the early 1970s: cheesy art, “au
thentic” letters from satisfied cus
tomers, the appeals to fears of in
adequacy and all the rest.
Most of these ads are directed
toward adults, so convenience and
conformity seem to be the cardinal
values. Do it yourself, do it quickly,
do it at home, do it better than your
neighbor: these are the themes that
still move a country.
Other sample items, none of them
short on satire, include:
• StewartGoodlife Lenses, “the
one and only contact lens that fil
ters out poverty and the poor from
your field of vision, leaving only
pleasing people and objects to
contemplate.”
• The Noveltron, which “lets a
person be a novelist without writ
ing a single word!”
• The Man-On-the-Street-Insti
tute, which will “train you to pro
vide the hackneyed opinions and
sentiments that local and network
news reports are crying out for.”
Divided into sections like Life
Management Accessories and In
terpersonal Activity Enhancers,
these are products that call out to
us from old detective magazines or
3 a.m. advertising on UHF sta
tions.
For a classic collection of satire
and humor in which reality and the
advertised life are often confused,
seek this catalog of the products
we all secretly desire but which,
alas, are “Not Available in Any
Store.”
Dead
Continued from Page 9
the ironic twist of its predecessor.
That’s the only real surprise here,
so the question then is not “Why do
a remake?” but rather “Why see
it?” This new batch of creeps is
good for a few screams, but people
who still aren’t acquainted with
“The Dead” are better off taking
their cash to the video store.
If curiosity gets the best of you,
though, the new “Night of the Living
Dead” is playing at the State Thea
