A termite walks into a cocktail lounge and asks, "Where's the bartender?"

Brief Description: The title is part of an old commercial for a product that I think was called "Groom and Clean" (?) or something like that. I think it was a product that had to do with hair.... Anyway, the piece is made up of a lot of old commercials from the 50's and 60's. Manipulated of course. Kind of a (nasty) commentary on advertising.

Exhibition History: It's been around. The one showing I definitely remember was on PBS affilliate KCTS in Seattle in '97.
