How to Advertise

Today I saw a wonderful lesson about the freedom and freefalls of capitalism.

I'm driving by this store in Albany, Georgia. Instantly you can tell what they sell. Mattresses. There's one out front on display along the highway. Its standing on end. Don't worry. Its covered in plastic so the rain doesn't get to it...'cause it does rain about every afternoon here in the summer. The store is probably set 60 feet back off the road, so the mattress is pretty much by itself except for its companion.

In order to demonstrate the use of this company's product, they hired a mannequin. A handsome, slate-grey fellow donning red surf trunks and a cornflower blue t-shirt. His head is twisted to his left, looking down the road. Quite the stylistic visionary. As for the rest of him, he's strapped repeatedly to the mattress with bundles of heavy rope with his arms helplessly down to his side.

I can see the TV commercials now...
"You'll Sleep Like A Hostage At Jack's Mattress Shack!"
