i thought i would unleash a few of my latest random thoughts on the world:
1) the other day i was thinking, that I haven't seen a commercial for "jello" in about ten years... and the last time I did see a jello commercial, bill cosby was singing the jello jingle.. as far as i know, jello is still sold at every grocery store i've ever been to.. so,, what's going on????... why did jello all of a sudden decide that they no longer needed to advertise...
my answer: Bill Cosby is the chuck norris of advertising... If you ever get Bill Cosby in your commercial, you'll never have to advertise again..
2) I have a new purpose in life.. a new goal.. the other day i was at the bank, and the teller needed to know my last name.. naturally, i spelled it, because my last name is pretty unique,, and nobody spells it right the first time.. so,, the teller asks, " D as in David?".... this got me thinking.. from now on, everytime i'm in a situation to where i'm going to be spelling a word either over the phone or in person,, i want to try and use the most random or offensive/awkward or just plain weird examples for the letters... I obsessed over this for a few days,, these are what i've come up with so far:
D as in double dragon.. F as in froto.. N as in necrophiliac.. R as in racism.. S as in suicide... B as in Barney Rubble.. G as in Newt Gingrich.... etc.etc.. (i had better ones the other day)..
but then,, i could take it even further,, by hinting at the person's physical/mental/cultural attributes,,,, for example: if the person is asian,, and perhaps the asian person is eating rice,, or using some crazy technological device i haven't even heard of yet,,, i might say S as in stereotype.. or C as as in Cliche...... or if the person is old,, i might say G as in geriatrics,,, or if the person is of ample size in certain areas,, and perhaps showing a little much cleavage,,, i might say "A" as in augmentation.. or maybe,, the person seems a little drab,, i might say P as in pharmaceuticals...
i could go on and on..
anyhow,, here is a link to a blog i read the other day... i thought it was pretty funny... i think we could be friends..

I think that was the universal experience for all 300K people at RockFest. Except that I had a whopping 8 dollars.
ReplyDeleteThe reason Jello isn't overly advertised is because it is in it's decline stage of the product life cycle.
ReplyDeleteHow's that for some business classes at your local community college.
