[Tim-in-TX]

Just wanted to pass this link on that i found on the NAPP forums.

I think they were going with the "lets scare the confused old folks away from technology" sales technique: "New" Vivitar camera









And, Yes, I did a search first and did not find a previous posting for this...so there, NYA!

TWO CAMERAS PLUS FILM FOR JUST $10 !!

OMG, where's my checkbook at?!

[revjvegas]

"no more passing the camera around to look at pictures taken..."

yeah, now you just have to wait three weeks to get the prints back to see your pictures taken because all the in store 24hr developers are gone.

Bahahaha, have to agree this is playing on the fears of that generation. My mom would buy this LOL

looks like Mom is getting a Vivtar and a Snuggy.

...and a Jitterbug

they said that the automatic focus makes taking pictures easy, but I don't think that camera has an automatic focus. It looks like it is a set focus, with no motor for adjustment. They lied.

So this is actually on TV... oh man...

[danchez]

that old man is in a lot of commercials. Snuggies, night lights, hearing aids...

I kept waiting to see that the camera came with film loaded and the phrase "you click the picture, Leave the rest to us!" That was the whole idea with the Kodak Brownie....
