sales pitch #1

A group of businessmen are sat around a large table in a meeting room. On a plasma screen, an advertisment for a new car is being shown.

CHAIR: Well, that's the new advert, it's short and to the point. What do you all think?
DIRECTOR: Hmm, it's alright, but I think the message is TOO clear.
MAN #1: Yeah, we should definitely make it more subtle.
MAN #2: I agree, make the viewer confused.
MAN #1: How about we have horses instead?
CHAIR: I really think-
MAN #2: Maybe we could have a man walking a badger too?
MAN #1: Whilst riding a horse!
MAN #2: Yeah, now we're on to something...
CHAIR: But the advert-
DIRECTOR: I like the way this is going.
MAN #1: Maybe the man suffers from erectile disfunction?
MAN #2: Shock factor! We could even have a lot of sexy women walking around the horse in their underwear!
CHAIR: Oh come on now!
MAN #1: So what are we saying here, that this car will help erectile problems?
MAN #2: Well we don't really need to say anything, the advert should speak for itself.
DIRECTOR: So when does the car come into it?
MAN #1: Ah we can shove it in at the end.
MAN #2: Yeah, sex sex sex right up until the last moment!
DIRECTOR: Sex definitely sells.
CHAIR: Look, the advert is fine as it is, okay?

The meeting room goes silent.

DIRECTOR: Yeah, you're right Steve.
MAN #1: Yeah, sorry Steve.
MAN #2: So... uh, how's the toothpaste advert coming?
CHAIR: Good yeah, we've just got a million rubber balls to bounce down a street...
