Priceless Post


Have you seen MasterCard is sponsoring a contest to make one of their famous ‘priceless’ TV commercial from some lucky entrant’s idea? I’m working on my entry now:


Packing Boxes: $75
(Tight shot: hands wrapping vase in newspaper, placing in box)

Moving Van: $250
(Interior shot: movers taking furniture out of little apartment while old lady fusses at them to be careful. Her adult son has a box in his arms and smiles sheepishly)

Attorney Fees: $2000
(Backlit shot: Son shaking hands with attorney over paperwork)

Never Having to Deal with Mom Again: Priceless
(Pull-back shot: Son waving good-bye to confused Mom left on steps of nursing home.)

Voice over: You can’t put a price on self-absorption. For everything else, there’s MasterCard!

Fade to Black
