To the Editor:
Miss America Pulverizes Professor Van
Den Haag [“What to do About
Advertising,” May]
Say!
I am wedded to each cliché
And hate you for trying to take them away
Pink glare is nicer than naked day;
For my soap op’ry let ESSO pay
(plus Mademoiselle and Holiday !)
Natch!
Whatever highbrow perfessers say,
Singing commercials are quite okay;
While “Offenbach’s Toccata in A”
To me is simply a bale of hay.
Out of the air-waves kindly stay—
We don’t need YOUR type in the USA!
Just go away!
(I regret that Miss A. did not become exposed to Prof. Van Den Haag’s argument sooner.)
