Max Headroom. Remember his TV show? Was that on MTV? I had a Max Headroom t-shirt. Coke -- "Catch the Wave." Jeez...

True, it encouraged dog-lovers and children to drink.

The Max Headroom series was OK...interesting pre-Internet view of the world that, in some ways, has come to pass. But, the Coke/Headroom marketing campaign was grim.
