I’ve been watching TV today, one of those things that you do on a rainy Sunday in October…well that, and cook. So while cooking and watching TV, I found myself not really involved with the football games on the tube, but rather the commercials.
There are two ads that seem to be repeated over and over. The first is a Tiger Woods commercial. It shows Tiger on the golf course. At first he is hitting the ball brilliantly and then he is hitting the ball out of sand traps, water holes, and off of palm tree stumps. You’ve all seen the commercial, haven’t you? He does this with a smile on his face and with a great deal of self deprecating humor. Very cute.
The next one is Peyton Manning going around to local businesses, applauding the workers, cheering them on, asking the grocery store guy for his autograph. Peyton is so cute, just making fun of himself.
I mentioned this to Hubby, who remarked that each time those commercials are shown those two men just rake in the big bucks. Kaching, kaching! (Sound of a cash register ringing up the dollars!)
It was then that I had this idea.
Dear Mr. Ad Man,
I want you to know that I would not be averse to making a commercial for your company. I will allow you to film me while I golf (which is truly splendid because I have no talent at all and this would be quite humorous to your viewers). I would also allow you to come with me to the grocery store, McDonald’s, Wendy’s or Burger King, and film me asking for autographs and cheering the cooks as they make my burgers. I will even do a series of cheers in an outfit of your choice (which, if you could see my figure would be “fun” for sure).
For this privilege, I will charge you 1/10th of what Peyton Manning and Tiger Woods charge you for their services.
You see, instead of these superstars trying to look like an average person, you would actually have an average person, in “real life”! This could be a first!
Yours very truly,
The Dackel Princess
Well, do you think I have a chance?
Sure, but then I also believe that pigs can fly 😉
If you do become a huge commercial superstar, don’t forget about us little people, k? LOL!
Hey, what the heck. Ya just never know.

Well, I know you’d be wonderful but….considering the special I saw yesterdary on why Peyton………the job may be hard to come by. How about Greta?
Hi Mom,
Hope you had a nice weekend, despite all of that rain yesterday! My softball ended up being cancelled, so the playoffs are moved to next weekend! I’m likely headed to CA for work later this week, but will be in touch before I fly out!
Love you,
Mandy
Anything’s possible. It might very well happen that the producer says something like, “The next piece of mail i read I will act on wholeheartedly!” And of course, yours would be the next piece of mail, and then the phone call would be made, and the contracts would be signed….
Oh, yeah. It’s possible! 🙂
Remember you can only have a chance if you try!
I’d watch! And I don’t watch commercials!
