McDonald's "Clean It" training video with a fake Michael Jackson and a lot of smoke

If you ever had the opportunity to make a corporate training video, you could go the boring route and make one with lots of graphs and people sitting at desks talking about things.  Or you could make one that will stand the test of time and be incredibly amazing decades after other training videos have been tossed in the trash. 

This is the latter.






Wink Martindale stars in a vision of the future of 1999 in 1967's "1999 A.D."

Oh, sure, we all know and love Wink Martindale, who turns 81 today, from his work as the host of more game shows than you can name, but did you know he was also a FATHER OF THE FUTURE? In this 1967 film, produced by the Philco-Ford Company for their 75th anniversary, a family lives in the far-away time of 1999, filled with future cars, Martian botony and computers.  Hey, at least it gets idea behind the computer stuff pretty correct.  (Interestingly, Martindale's character is supposed to be 45 years old, which must have rankled the man who was then in his mid-30s.)
