Anybody remember Max Headroom?
*tumbleweeds blow accross Apolyton*
Didn't think anyone would remember him.
Feel free to discuss other annoying 80's advertising personas like Spuds Mackenzie.

He didn't do that until later, I think.
I think he started as an MTV veejay, and had a short-lived sci-fi series as well.

I do actually remember that one. "Thirty seconds in the future" wasn't it?
Hmm. I should get some taglines from that.

My roommate routinely drops the word "Blipverts" about once a week, so yes, I remember Max Headroom.

I have no idea who Max Headroom is. Although I do know that Bill Posters was innocent.

The 80's, heh? A tad too long ago for me to remember a great deal about it, although I do recall my childhood fear of the Honey Monster quite vividly.
