A Career in Advertizing

This a.m. in the shower I had an idea for a PSA regarding safe sex. It shows the Flying Wallendas flying around on the trapeze apparatus. At the end one of them steps up and says "Even the best performers work with a net". Then the voice over, "Play it safe, www.penisnet.com".

Speaking of which, I actually sent this idea to Lifestyles condoms. There is a couple sitting on the couch drinking wine. The guy gets up and grabs his girlfriend by the hand leading her to the bedroom. Once there he opens the top drawer of the night stand, pulls out some hand cuffs. Dangling them in her face he smiles.
"What do you have in mind with those?" she queries.
"Just a little captivity" he responds.
She then whips out a condom waving it in his face.
"And what did you have in mind?" he asks.
"Just a little protective custody" she replies.
Again, the voice over.

The next one actually got a response from Nike. (Neither positive or negative)
Rain is pounding the wind shield. The person in the passenger seat is looking at a dashboard pc.
"It should be right up ahead."
"There it is, there it is" the driver shouts.
"Get closer"
A shot thru the windshield shows a funnel cloud.
Passenger again, "Here, here"
The vehicle pulls over onto a dirt road. Camera angle shows the foot stepping out with YOUR BRAND HERE of running shoes on. The passenger walks back to the asphalt, looks over his shoulder. A tornado is closing in. He starts running. The gap between him and the twister widens. Again the voice over. "When running like the wind just isn't enough....."

My Harley commercial:
A stupid little car is at a red light, thumping and vibrating, with the roop scoops inside "dancing" around. A guy pulls up next to it on his bike, looks over and smiles. He hits the throttle. The camera focuses on the car. It vibrates even more to the point of disintegration. Voice over "Nothing matches the thunder of V twin power"

Miller Lite:
On the steps of where ever the St Louis Rams play, a beer vendor walks. A fan calls out.
"Miller lite please"
Vendor opens his cooler. The camera zooms in. Its full of Miller Lite.
"Sorry, all out. How 'bout a bud lite?"
"No thanks, I'll just get a bottled water."
Post game in the vendors warehouse all the guys are sitting around drinking Miller Lite.
One looks at another and asks "How'd you do today?"
Raising his beer he says "This job may not pay much, but the benefits are great."

I also have a Culligan commercial but why bore you. Oddly enough, if you want a career in advertizing you have to go to college. It appears as tho that diploma means a whole lot. Strangely I work with a lot of people who have diplomas/degrees.

Yes, I may be a dreamer/loser, but at least I didn't pay $50,000 to get here.
