Headline: " I Love Lucy Predicts the Future! "  

I am a huge fan of I Love Lucy. I can recite most episodes along with the show! But knowing it all so well, makes for some funny times nad conversations.

I was just thinking and going through the stuff I have learned about advertising, adwords, google keywords, and using specific words for search engines to pick you up quicker and more often.

LEt's see I Love Lucy was in production 1951-57. The final season they just moved to the country. Lucy and Ricky are realizing the high costs of living in the big house in the country so they figure how to make extra money. They decide to raise chickens and sell the eggs. But they need a hired hand to help. So when Fred and Ethal come to visit, they are all four sitting round the table brainstorming for an ad to hire a some help. Lucy throws out things like "make alot of money over night" and "get rich quick". Ricky says no to all of them saying they just weren't right, and lucy says "why dont' you just say "want to throw your money down a rat hole?" And Ricky says "no, that's not good. Besides, there's no money required". (as the hired help would live in the guest house and take half the chicken income) And fred spouts out with "There's your headline "No Money Required".

So here we all are just now, "learning" this new thing of "brain storming" and "key words" and "ad words" to get our blogs or sites noticed and here, 50 years ago, the funniest comedy of all time, was telling us about keywords and how to get our "ads" noticed....but did we listen? Nooooooo... it took us 50 years and some fancy-shmancy creation called "search Engines" and "google" to tell us what Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel told us 50 years ago! Just had to point that out!
