I have seen a most curious commercial which deserves a place on the "Ain't dat sumpin'?" page of your website. As strange as this is, it has the dis-advantage of being real. It was not a drug-induced hallucination.
Let me try to re-set the scene.
Scene: A family home.
Time: breakfast.
Mother: Billy, drink your Sunshine brand Orange juice. It's chock full of calcium to build healthy bones.
Billy: I don't beleive you.
Mother: Who would you beleive?
Billy: Screen and stage star, Robert Loggia.
Mother: Robert Loggia?
Billy: Yes, Robert Loggia.
Enter not-very-well-known actor in suit of black with white tie, looking suspiciously like a gangster who has broken into a suburban home.
Loggia: Hi. I'm Robert Loggia.
Billy & Mother: It's actor Robert Loggia!
Loggia: Drink your orange juice, Billy. It's chock full of calcium to build healthy bones. Do it for Robert Loggia.
Billy: Sure thing, Robert Loggia.
Fade to black.
What a most curious commercial, old boy. I am not certain if I can drink the product unless it has been endorsed by a semi-celebrity. Could they pack his name into the commercial any more times? What about Milo O'Shea, whose screen credits include nearly nothing, to endorse OJ or tissue paper or kleenex?
We may conclude that there is nothing on television and as a medium, it ought to be banned. Back to the daily grind.
