i think that home alarm system companies would make more money if they had a commercial where a dude stumbles in drunk singing a song at the top of his lungs at 2 in the morning and trips the alarm and the company calls the house and the lady goes oh yeah piet set it off by mistake AGAIN he is Dronk it is not emergency and then it shows piet trying to get his shoes off in the foyer one hand on the wall in the dark bent over then he falls into the umbrella stand – this commercial is way more effective because i bet that happens all the time, the one they have now is some lady all scared saying yes there’s been a break-in and the dispatcher is all it’s ok we are sending help right away (all concerned and he really cares) like come on how many break-ins are there? zero. also having an element of humour to commercials always works, it makes the ad memorable and then everyone imitates and references it. having a drunk idiot bust through the door and set off the alarm on his own house, funny, especially if the police show up and tackle him, but what i’m proposing in the commercial is the dispatcher on the fone chuckles along with karolina over good ole piet up to his old tricks again then cut to piet fallen asleep with the oven on cooking up some booze munchies meat & cheese on a slice of bread how many eastern european stereotypes can i fit into this blog post?
fil is saying he doesn’t get how it would be more effective cos the element of fear has been removed and replaced with humour and now we are in a fight.
yes i understand that fear is an important and often-used ploy in marketing, fil thinks above humour it is more effective for an alarm system commercial, i was just trying to make a joke and now we are in the middle of giving each other the silent treatment and drinking champagne.
i don’t want to get into the whole cnn fear tactics control the people bullshit cos that’s an obvious route, i just wanted to make a drunk joke GOD.
like the cops won’t ever show up to piet and karolina’s house cos they know piet is just drunk again at 2 in the morning. the end.
