Mmmmmmmm...

After posting the Johnsonville brats ad yesterday, I thought I ought to look for a video of the Kahn's Big Red Smokey graphic from Riverfront Stadium.  Unfortunately, all I could find was this article:

Walks will haunt no longer, at least not the way they used to. The ghostly graphic with the Scooby-Doo spooky music has gone the way of Pong.
The black and white Charlie Chaplin walk graphic probably also has made its last appearance. Chaplin's leisurely stroll with a cane, spelling out "walk" in cursive, although not haunting, made its point.
And unless the Kahn's Big Red Smokey commercial is lucky enough to be revamped, Reds fans may have heard for the last time this exchange following a play at second base with some kind of tubular meat:
Umpire, trying to make the call: You're ... a hot dog.
Angry manager, charging from the dugout: Yer blind, that's a smoked sausage. Umpire: I call 'em as I see 'em, and that's a hot dog.

The argument then continued until the manager shoved the dog/sausage into the umpire's mouth.
The ensuing "mmmmmmmmm" over the P.A. system left little doubt.
It was indeed a smoked sausage, and everyone knew it.
Of course, the new graphics will be more exciting and eye-catching. But more memorable than Cinergy's? Doubt it. Wonder why?

If anybody can find audio or video of the ad, let me know (updated below).

Thanks to commenter Brian for the link to this:

Found on a bulletin board discussing a Hannity guest making the case that Obama is Muslim/Communist back in 2008:

The whole argument from Corsi's side reminds me of the old Kahn's hot dog advertisements they played at Riverfront Stadium during Red's games between innings.

"It's a hot dog!"
"It's a smoked sausage!"
"It's a HOT DOG!"
"It's a SMOKED SAUSAGE!"
"IT'S A HOT DO<gulp due to being force fed Kahn's Big Red Smokey>...MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

I'm not sure what this means, but it makes me laugh.
