Whoops! The Lou Rawls Commercial!


I'm watching "First Look" on MSNBC and a commercial comes on for Colonial Penn Insurance. Lou Rawls is "selling" low cost insurance to cover our "final expenses." Lou was always a class act and was an excellent spokesman in the commercial. The ironic fact is that Lou died a week and a half ago, on January 6th. I guess his appearance gives added urgency to the need for this type of insurance. I'm not sure if this was an MSNBC commercial or a Dish Network commercial, but it sure woke me up! Lou died after a long illness. Network, sponsor & ad agency should have been on their toes.
