death ray

[livejournal.com profile] kerri9494 and I killed George Plimpton by posting about Intellivision.

Update: By the way, if you're wondering why the heck Mattel picked George Plimpton as a spokesman for a video game anyway, remember that this was the era when the spokesman for A1 Steak Sauce was the guy who looked like Dick Cavett. It therefore made perfect sense.

Update update: Oh yeah, and at the time Intellivision's perceived ace in the hole was its sports games, and Plimpton had... well... written about sports. I guess that makes a kind of sense, perhaps if it's 1982 and you're high.
