{Pop-Culture Challenge} The Ad Men Attack

A muddled group of frustrated, overtired copywriters and a dozen used coffee cups were completely unaware of the beautiful city around them.

“We have got to come up with a campaign for this company,” Phil said. “Online dating. Who uses that anyway?” The prankster of the copywriting department asked. “Jessica?”

Jessica, a junior copywriter, merely growled.

“OK,” Phil backed down. “Let’s compare them to eHarmony.”

“My friend got turned down by eHarmony,” Jessica said.

“Why?” Julie, from the art department, asked.

“He’s got a problem with – sanity,” Jessica shrugged.

“That’s our campaign,” Phil jumped up. “We don’t turn anyone down.”

“We don’t reject the rejects!” Jessica mocked. Phil loved it, though.

“As long as you can pay us, we don’t care how crazy you are!” Julie giggled.

“We’ll let any loser join,” added Bob, “and then we’ll set you up with him.”

“Just the first part,” Phil wrote it on a board. “Anything else?”

Jessica said: “Matchmaking for mentally unstable criminals!”

    Written in response to Chemistry.com’s ads about how eHarmony rejects a certain number of people every day.

    I had no clue eHaromony rejected people, how sad is that, they can’t get a date without help, then the dating service turns them down! Reminds me of the episode of How I Met Your Mother, when they couldnt find a match for poor Ted.
    Your strong suit is dialogue.

    Here’s the difference between men & women. These guys are all upset that eHarmony rejects people, and I think it means that they weed out people with a criminal past, the mentally unstable, and people who are looking for a way to scam.

    I actually find it comforting.
