I’ve been thinking about Hackman over the weekend. I wonder just how much market testing went into finding such a spokesman. Can you just imagine the meetings on that?…
“So, we need something to really get our name out there. How about a guy that cuts stuff up?”
“You mean like Jack the Ripper?”
“Not exactly what I had in mind, Jack just kind of sliced people open. And he used a knife, not a saw.”
“Oh, so more like Ed Gein, then.”
“I was thinking of something a little less like a graverobber.”
“Right, more like Jeffrey Dahmer.”
“I was thinking something a little less necrophiliac, as well.”
“Like Leatherface, perhaps.”
“Actually, I was thinking of someone that cuts up inanimate objects, actually.”
“Yeah, I guess that would be cheaper. We wouldn’t have to burn his work clothes as often. Or pay off the police.”
“Exactly. But those were good suggestions Ted.”
I’ll bet it went just like that.
Tune in tomorrow when I curse my internet connection and rant about Heroes, maybe. Well, almost certainly the internet thing.
