American Express wants its cardmembers to get the first look at the cutting-edge series Slammo & Sloshie. How so? All you’ve got to do is be willing to give up some cardmember information. A name and “the last ten digits of the phone number on the back of your card.” Seems unobtrusive enough.But who or what exactly are Slammo and Sloshie that they rate such exclusive treatment?
The series centers around “a chance meeting between a puppet and a robot that led to the unraveling of the world.” Can you guess who is what from their names?
It is sublime understatement to call this pair dysfunctional. The level of misunderstanding between them tops any Larry David comedy, and yet sitesurfers might find it strangely familiar, in a nuclear family kind of way. Slammo and Sloshie are not for kids. What they are is a perverse, raucous, voyeuristic hoot. And what’s best of all, they are brought to you by Keaton Transworld Industrial Products, the same company that brought you the safety pin, drywall, and oncological technology development….
