BREAKING NEWS: Cillit Bang debuts in States

[Eric]

Okay, it's not really breaking nor news, since it apparently came out last month, but just this morning I first saw the U.S. TV ad for it.

"They're a challenge . . . but not for Easy-Off Bam!"

Yes, that's the retarded name we got when they brought the product over here. The commercial is very similar to the one we know and cherish. The dialogue is slightly different ("stone" was changed to "cement", for instance), and they got a Barry Scott look-a-like with a shitty 'American' voice that doesn't even compare.

They still featured the penny cleaning demo, complete with "Good as new!" But it just wasn't the same.

And, as you can imagine, the tagline was modified to "BAM, and the dirt is gone."

www.easyoffbam.com/ They have changed most of the website presentations to Flash rather than anigifs and static pages. PFF TYPICAL

From a short research, Easy Off Bam also seems to exist in Australia under this name as well.

I will need to buy some knockoff Cillit Bang and clean all my pennies with it. STATUS REPORT SOON?! (probably not)

(P.S.: Anyone who can find this commercial online for download earns a free sexual favor with the purchase of one sexual favor of equal or lesser value)

It's almost Blasphemy.


Except without the giant talking candy cane and the magic beans.

Yeah, I was told about this last night. It's an insult, I tell you!

We got it too, last month, but under another name "Easy-off Bang" (I guess marketers here don't care much about innuendo as you guys apparently do. ).
The ad is frickin' long, and it's basically like the 2nd CB Powercrystals advert. It features a well known cook who... just can't get into Barry's pants. He's a total jerk.

I still haven't got the time to go to the store and see for myself how well it works, but I will soon (before the other 1000 ripoffs I've seen around bury it. ). I have to.

It's still Cillit Bang over here.
I guess they changed the name to make it sound less like "KILL IT! *gunshot*"

How thrilling, it's almost enough to make you think twice isn't it? Funny how the strangest things catch our notice and cause us to pause in our lives.

[Jolly Joes]

I always read this as Clit Bang.

I pity you.

[SoNick Belmont]

I also read it as clit bang, but then I watched the video that's been floating around the internet.
My life was never the same, after that.
