Old Oil Company Ad

This was a recent Jay Leno bit, I thought it was hilarious.

Someone recently sent me an oil company ad from 1974. It shows a giant glacier dominating a little ship the size of a dime. The ad says, “We produce enough energy in one day to melt this glacier in 11 seconds.” Can you imagine that ad running today? That just killed me. “We can melt this glacier in 11 seconds”—and they’re bragging about it! Now they’re going, “Oh, no, we’re not going near any of the glaciers, no.” - Jay Leno

I looked all over the net for that ad, but I don't think it's going to be found. I would love to see that though, we could blow that baby up and billboard the world, what fun would that be... if anybody does find it, please link!
