12:34 pm - LOTR FOTR on cable with ads
A friend (aka rosencrantz319) was talking about having seen LOTR FOTR on cable. He found the frequent ads to be a bit distressing.
So, I had a thought... They should have the characters advertise! The commercial possibilities are endless!
- Gandalf - Clorox (The real secret to how I became Gandalf the White!),
- Samwise - Garden weasel of course!
- Merry and Pippin - If tobacco products were allowed on air, some sort of pipe tobacco would be the obvious choice, otherwise, perhaps they could appear with Treebeard.
- Treebeard - Miracle Gro®, that's the stuff he fed to Merry and Pippin and drinks all the time himself.
- Gollum - Maybe fish? Red Lobster? Edit: Ooh, I know! Public service "Just say NO to drugs (aka the one ring)!" ads.
- Aragorn - Aftershave perhaps? Or maybe some of those razors designed to leave behind a bit of manly stubble?
- Sauron - Vizine, obviously!
- Denethor - Cremation services? They generally don't advertise though.
- Frodo - Camping gear? Motivational tapes (how I managed to resist the pull of the ring for so long!) Fire resistant clothing?
- Bilbo - Depends?
- Legolas - Shampoo?
- Gimli - Gold? De-tarnishing chemicals (how to keep the axe sharp)?
As you can see, practically every character, no matter how minor, has some sort of advertising tie-in. I don't understand why it's not already been done. :-)

I'm thinking you must've set up your LJ friends list RSS feed to go directly to your email, then wired your email up to a device that shocks you every time one comes in. And through that system of negative reinforcement you have learned to anticipate the email before it arrives and thus recieve no shock at all. :-)

*grin* I figure people who read my LJ should be entertained every once in awhile amidst all the political stuff and esoteric programming stuff. :-)

That's true. I would be highly amused if this become one of those memes that started showing up in everybody's journals. :-)
Or for those assisted living and adult living/retirement communities.
