Remember Cornelius Trunchpole? You know, that guy from another era who decided to make a return to the world of advertising? Some thought the man behind Trunchpole was Alex Bogusky. Some thought it was Gerry Graf. We still don’t really know – ok, we sort of do – but read our interview we had with Cornelius back when he was hitting the scene in late 2010. And get ready for the documentary.

Oh Yes. The Man. The myth. The legend will be featured in a documentary May 9 at the Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn. Check out the details and a teaser here.

His “life” and tremendous contributions to advertising will be examined as will his recent rise to fame via social media. It should be an amazing experience. Maybe. Just maybe we’ll all finally be able to meet the infamous Cornelius Trunchpole. Here’s hoping.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
