BEST PLACE IN TOWN TO TAKE A LEAK

That's the way a radiator shop in MTV advertised. Memorable.

I don't know if the Beauty Spot painted on the brick wall in New Orleans is a beauty shop, but it's a good name for one. Curl Up and Dye is the name of another of MTV's bidnesses as some local there say. I think that's kind of catchy as well.

But I guess as a wordsman or wordsmith, I like the sounds of words and take connotative note. I'm even a sucker for the cliched Dew Drop Inns.

Though I've never worked in advertising, and as I commented a few entries ago, I detest commercials, maybe if they were more creative I'd like them better. So here would be my commercial for razors.

I would start by showing a man shaving with a generic razor as he bleeds from bad blades. Then I'd disguise a Mach III Turbo by Gillette yet viewers would know which brand, the shaver was using. As he finished what he thought a close shave, he'd examine himself in a magnifying 5X mirror to see stubble and little bubble blisters from the razor. The final scene would show my average looking guy shaving quickly and closely with my Schick razor.

I'd end with bold lettering proclaiming "Schick Happens."

On second thought, I might have just encouraged buyers to get the other products. I guess that's why the closest I got to advertising was layout.
