My perfect job
A few years ago Patrick and I were watching TV and a commercial came on that was just stupid and I turned to him and said, "That was stupid, they should have checked with me first." From that point on it became a running joke. Whenever we saw a bad commercial one of us would say that they should have checked with me. That was when I decided that the perfect job for me would be a TV commercial and magazine ad checker.An Example:
Right now Dicks sporting goods is running ads for Fathers Day. Their catch phrases for this are "Every Fathers Day begins with Dicks Sports" and (are you ready) "Every Fathers Day begins with Dicks". Isn't that where most fathers days begin? They should have checked with me!
I was watching a comedian the other night and he was talking about this too. Remember this commercial for Jimmy Dean sausage? It starts out showing this wonderful country breakfast and the voice over says, "The milk comes from real cows, the eggs come from real chickens, the sausage comes from Jimmy Dean". I will never eat sausage again!
Isn't there a person at the ad agency's that do this? If not there should be.
Some of the best are the signs outside of stores. I was going through the wonderful town of Blueball many years ago and the sign outside the Blueball car wash said, "Try our famous blueball hand wash and dry". Do people not think?
I know I'm not the only one that sees these things, maybe I'm just the only one it bothers.

My dream job is to be a consistency expert on movie sets. I always notice when things look screwy.
Well, right behind being someone's personal shopper.
