Ah yes, everybody's favorite local television personality made number 9 on my list. His inclusion on my list is not only a testament of his work, but also representative of all the cast of characters to be found in local advertising. I've never seen Fancy Ray's local cable access show, but I've seen more than enough of his work in advertising for local places like Lickety Split and Nicollet Village Video for him to make the list. I'm rather disappointed that I didn't know who he was back when I first moved here in '98, as I might have otherwise voted for him for governor. In addition to Fancy Ray, I'll be missing George Corporaal, Mattress Giant (Oooo! Ahhh!), King of Diamonds, and all the commercials for the local schools of "higher" education such as Brown, NAU, Rasmussen, AIIM, and Minnesota School of Business and Globe College. So, so disappointing.
