Alright, I'm probably going to be banned from Freeping ever again, but I've GOT to get to the bottom of this one. This morning at about 6am MST, I turned on Imus on MSNBC where I saw this full page picture of a couple sitting in a hot tub, with the text "$1500 off". There was a very strange, non-sensical jingle being sung. Then, a voice over (female) started a rambling string of sentences that made NO SENSE! Part of the text I remember was something about an "Electric Pickle". Ok, no big deal, I thought. Some stupid Imus thing. I switched over to FOX NEWS, and saw the EXACT SAME NON-SENSICAL AD!! It lasted at least a minute and I saw the whole thing.

No, I'm not on meds, drugs, and had a great night sleep. Did anyone see this thing?? What the hell did it mean?

(I am on Comcast Cable, by the way... maybe it was a test ad "slug"....)

Don't think you'll be banned from FReeping again, but do you have a link? I'd like to see this.

the only "Electric Pickle" I have heard of is when you strip an electrical wire, connect each wire to a nail, stick the nail in each end of the pickle, then plug in the cord. After a few minutes the pickle glows brightly.

This might help explain the Electric Pickle.

Actually, think I caught part of this. . .was puzzled, but not for long as coffee was on my mind. . .

These things never appear only once. . .the 'return of the pickle' is certain. . .
