My Commercial
I wrote a Volkswagen Beetle commercial on the way to work today. If you're from an ad agency and you'd like to use it (because you make commercials that are conceived by random people all the time, right?) just let me know. I'm happy to share. No really, I am.
FADE UP TO TWO BOYS IN THE BACK SEAT OF A FAMILY CAR
BOY 1: (punches Boy 2 in the arm) Punch buggy green!
BOY 1: (looks out the window and punches Boy 2 in the arm again) Punch buggy silver!
BOY 2: (looks out the window, searching for a long moment, then smiles devilishly -- the camera pans to catch their car passing a Volkswagen dealership)
TITLE CARD:
The New Beetle
No punchbacks.
I also wrote a rap song that samples Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli's Time to Say Goodbye. It was a very productive commute.
