Politically correct change to Ace Hardware ad.

It should be, “Ace is the place where they’ll have no idea how to help you, but they’ll charge you double and it will break in a week.”

I didn’t realize it was ever “man.” I’m sure I’ve been hearing the current version of the jingle on the radio for at least a decade.

Helpful hardware clan. Keeps the rhyme scheme from the orignal.

Yes, but the helpful hardware horde will MAKE you select the right tools for your next home improvement project … or else.

Helpful hardwar broad?

How about, “Ace is the place when you need a helpful face.”

The jingle just changed in my area. It’s been around for as long as I can remember and I’m 47. The change does not flow well with the jingle and that’s what makes it PC. They ruined a melodic jingle instead of creating a new one. 10 minutes of brainstorming could have created a better sounding version.

I was surprised to find out that they changed it many years ago and that in the ensuing years have not tried to fix a crappy jingle.

Ace is the place with the heplful hardward plan. There, took me 5 seconds to think of it.

Neither of those are exclusively men, either. They’re called police officers and firefighters.

I think maybe you think “PC” means something other than what it means.
