November 19, 2012 Urban Word of the Day
A political advertisement that continues to appear on television or radio stations days if not weeks after the election is over. This includes political signs left in people's yards for months or old political bumper stickers stating one's support for Ross Perot, Bush/Cheney, or Proposition 13 from 1982. I wish they would stop running those zombie ads on channel 7. Don't they realize the election ended a month ago?

A slight modification of the already original ecto 1 modified 1959 Cadillac hearse made for the ghostbusters 2 movie in 1989 . In an attempt to refresh the new ghostbusters 2 films look , decision to modify the ecto 1 was made by adding new accesories on top of the hearse and two electronic bilboards on each side to advertise ghostbusting ads . The overall new ectomobile was nice enough to not alter the already popular look of the iconic car . Note that the car also comes equipped with a proton particle thrower and giant ghost trap ( featured in the atari 2600 , nes , sega games systems . ) never used in any of the two previous ghostbusters films , but was featured in the real ghostbusters animated series pilot . The ecto 1a is the name of the ectomobile in ghostbusters 2 .
The ecto 1a is the same car as the ecto 1 but slightly modified . |
