Reminds me of the "Visit the Taj Mahal for Fine Indian Cuisine, around the corner from this Cinema" type ads that used to run before the main feature in Pearl & Dean days of my youth. Advertising on a budget, I think it's called.
Wouldn't win any prizes for snappy advertising, but sure beats the interminable ads for "The Shirley Temple Video Collection" and Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits on two CDs or cassettes (rush orders available)
