thoughts of a drama queen

Ce dracu sa scriu?! De o ora ma tot cramponez. This blogging life is hard. Am vazut azi dimineata un design de tricou cu doua capete care discutau, unu zicea “I have nothing to say” iar celalalt “You should blog about it.”

Nothing! Asa ca o sa va pun niste idei vechi de spoturi TV. Pentru ca ideea e sa fie recilate. Postandu-le altundeva, consider ca le reciclez. So here they go.

Anti -smoking

A man, surrounded by many people, cheering him up and walking by his side, is carrying a huge rope on his back and several sacks. He seems pleased and happy. We can tell he’s the main character because the camera is focusing on him and the cheering crowd is somewhere in the background.

At one point, the crowd and him are reaching a small hill, on top of which we see a wooden pole. He goes to the pole and unwraps the sacks and scatters the content around the pole. When the camera focuses, we can see that it’s tobacco. Then he climbs on it (as it has a small part of wood for the feet) and starts tying the rope around him. He’s having some difficulty, but the crowd cheers him up more and more. At this point we realize that the pole is in fact a stake.

Eventually, he manages to tie himself up and asks somebody for a light. He’s given a lit match, which he holds between his teeth and then throws it onto the piles of tobacco, at his feet. The crowd cheers as the flames reach him.

MVO (happy, cheerful): So yes, the doctor told me I have 6 months to live.

Crowd cheering: Yeeeee!

MVO: But hey, it’s not so bad! I’m gonna do chemo!

Crowd cheering: Yeeeee!

MVO: And I’m gonna lose all hair eventually!

Crowd cheering: Yeeeee!

My family will have to sell stuff to support my medical care.

Crowd cheering: Yeeeee!

I’ll reach the metastasis in 3 months.

Crowd cheering: Yeeeee!

And by then I will have difficulty breathing.

Crowd cheering: Yeeeee!

But hey, lung cancer isn’t so bad….. I’ll do morphine, because the pains will be excruciating.

Crowd cheering: Yeeeee!

Oh, I can’t wait.

ANNCR: If you haven’t decided yet to quit smoking, we’ll be more than happy to cheer by your hospital bed side. Quit smoking. Today!

We see a little boy drawing at a desk under a lamp light. He is blonde and has glasses, and is about 6 years old. After he finishes his drawing, he folds it in two and puts it inside a backpack. In the backpack we see he also put a half of a sandwich, a teddy bear, a winter hat with bear ears, and a small scooter folded together.

The next day, when the dawn breaks, he leaves from home into his journey. It is a beautiful autumn day, with leaves falling and wind blowing. We see him in a tram which takes him to the edge of the city. Then we see him at the side of a big road, resting on a tree log.

Time passes, the child continues his journey. The city is frozen, we can tell winter is about to start. We see the child with his hat riding a scooter inside a smaller town. Finally, he gets to a house and we know the journey has ended. He knocks at the door and an old lady answers.

She looks at him lovingly, and right then, it starts snowing. He takes out the drawing and gives it to the lady.

We see a man in a suit in front of a flower shop. He is placing a rose in a transparent ball and screws the ball together (like a Kinder Surprise with a toy inside). He then throws the ball into the air and we follow it with the camera above the city.

A truck full of transparent balls of all sizes, containing different things, passes in front of our flying ball. Now, we follow the truck with the camera. Close up on a transparent ball with a toy horse and then on another ball that has a mobile phone inside.

The stoplights turn red and the truck stops. We see two transparent balls crossing the street together. Now, the camera follows the two balls. One of them contains a set of gloves and the other one a box of chocolates. The balls get to a park, where we see an old man sitting on a bench. The ball with the gloves bumps into him, and the other one continues its journey.

Electronic Store

MVO: Remember how life used to be like without computers?

Situation one: Sending e-mails

We see a woman writing at a typing machine. As soon as she is done, she is pressing the release button, and a hand reaches out of the table and grabs the paper. We see the man running on the streets and in the meantime folding the paper and placing it in an envelope. Finally he gets to the destination. Super: Message sent.

Situation two: Searching for information.

We see the woman entering a huge public library. She says the words “Japanese restaurant” very loudly, and immediately 10 women start grabbing a bunch of books and look for the information. Finally there are hundreds of books and papers at her feet. Super: 30,000 refferences found.

Situation three: Creating a database.

We see the woman in a huge storage room, filled with drawers that look exactly the same. In her hand she has a piece of paper with a name written on it. She tries to open one of them, and we see that it is very long, and filled with dusty files. Finally she opens one of the files and adds another piece of paper inside. Super: Would you like to save your document?

Pay off: You could not imagine life without a computer anymore.
