I suppose Avery's final line is a bit nonsensical, now, but at the time there was a series of ads for one of the big clothing chains -- The Gap, I think -- where people danced weirdly in front of white backgrounds.
The concept of weird ads is timeless, I think.
That which does not kill me, cripples me for life.

Those ads DCS mentioned remind me of those stupid Ipod commercials with silhouettes dancing on solid color backgrounds, or most apple commercials in general...

That was the first thing I thought of, but I also remember those GAP commercials with the people and the dancing.

What is up with people dancing on flat backgrounds that makes people think "This will surely sell!"
