The Gobbler
What were they thinking?
Imagine the pitch to the investors:
'It's going to be a futuristic, state-of-the-art motel with every modern convenience from water beds to 8-tracks. The entire dining area will be covered in deep-pile pink and purple carpet. But wait - here's the best part. It will look like an abstract sculpture of a giant turkey. We'll bill it as a romantic getaway - and call it The Gobbler!'"

Gobblegobbelgobbel! Jo, det är mycket cartoon över det där. Jag undrade oxå var kalkonen var. Möjligen kanske man kan få vyn rakt framifrån mot ingången till nåt kalkonlikt med fönsterögon.
Gonzalez var kul. Tar ut svängarna mer än de flesta svenska arkitekter, tycks det.
I realise this blog is a bit old but I stumbled upon the Gobbler by accident.
Wow! What a great advertising idea :-) I like the link in the strapline to the Concorde. Good job we called the plane "Concorde" and not "Wild Turkey".
And not a trace of irony in the ad!
all the best
