Muffler Man This fellow has landed a bit of advertising fame in a print ad for an antacid. He is captioned as "Bunyon Giant, Atlanta, IL" and shares the ad with Larry the Cable Guy, who is evidently a spokesman for the brand. The ad came in the coupon flyers of my local paper toward the end of October, but also showed up in Rolling Stone magazine around the same time.
