Jim "The Hammer" Shapiro video # 5

The fifth of 5 Shapiro vids found here: http://shark.armchair.mb.ca/scissors/rochester.html

This later ad features Jim talking about who he really wants to hammer: victims! (or victums, if you will)

He was a lawyer from Rochester, NY. His ads were widely seen throughout the eastern United States and Canada in the early to mid 90's. There is a good write-up on him at Wikipedia that explains a lot (found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Shapiro).

Near the end of the practice's life, Jim didn't even appear in the ads. Instead, a mean-looking old man extolled Jim's virtues, speaking with less fire than Jim, but having a much more sour expression.

This guy needs to either calm down a little, or take a breath. G'damn he is gonna have a bloody stroke.

VICTIMS!!

VICTIMS!!!!

VICTIMS!!!

That sounds like something a serial killer would shout before pulling out an AK. This guy is nuts.

[hollyf47]

[monkeysoulpoet]

@spiralgear Oh, that's not fair at all.

Serial killers wouldn't use AKs. that's more like a spree killer.

Wow this takes me back. Even after all these years I still remembered the phone number, since this played so often during Saturday morning cartoons.
