Breslin: I'm outta here (Jimmy Breslin retires)
New York Post ^ | 11/3/2004 | Richard Johnson

Jimmy Breslin, the brash newspaperman who became so famous he starred in TV commercials for Piel's beer and Olivetti typewriters, has written his last regular column for Newsday.

He couldn't even pick a decent beer (Piels is Weasel Urine) or typewriter (Olivettis were Italian-made and broke down almost as much as the PCs they made for AT&T in the 80's)
