THE INFLAMMATORY RING OF FIRE PROPOSAL

The estate of Johnny Cash was approached shortly after his death in 2003 with a pitch that his classic tune "Ring of Fire" be used as a jingle for hemorrhoid commercials. Cash's family thought that the idea, despite its inherent whimsy, was degrading to the image of the singer and vehemently nixed the proposal.

Had such an advertisement run, perhaps it would have looked something like this.
