themeletorWhat could POSSIBLY be the thought process behind this ad?:
(looks kind of crappy because Marie's scanner is not so hot and I borrowed the magazine from the floor of the bathroom)
[[**A Meeting at Sketchers HQ**]]
Sketchers Dude A: "Shitshit, guys, we need to sell some shoes!"
Sketchers Dude B: "We totally do! Check out this plummeting sales chart!"
[Sales Chart: .:: plummets ::.
Marketing Gurus: "Well, fuck."]
Sketchers Dude A: "So what do you think sells shoes these days?"
Sketchers Dude C: "Celebrities!"
-A Silence Falls-
Sketchers Dude A: "INGENIOUS PLAN, C!"
Sketchers Dude C: "Thank you, Sir."
[Token Sketchers Chick: "Is it just because of my breasts that I am bequeathed this knowledge or does anybody else here realize that no celebrity will endorse us because Sketchers shoes haven't been cool singe 1998?"
Sketchers Dudes: "WHAT YOU SAY!"
Token Sketchers Chick: "You all suck."]
[[They call a bunch of agencies and no celebrity will endorse them because Sketchers shoes haven't been cool since 1998.]]
Sketchers Dude A: "Wow, it really sucks that none of us have breasts, because then we might have thought of this."
Sketchers Chick: "I did say you suck, didn't I?"
Sketchers Dude D: "SIR! TELEPHONE FOR YOU! IT'S CARRIE UNDERWOOD!('s agent)"
Sketchers Dude A: "Who the Hell is that?"
Sketchers Dudes B&C: *murmur* *shrug*
Sketchers Dude D: "She wants to sell our shoes!"
Sketchers Dude A: "Well what are we waiting for?"
Sketchers Dudes B, C, D, and the Chick: "Who the fuck will buy shoes because Carrie Underwood is in the ad?"
Carrie Underwood's Agent: "Oh, and only if you also advertise her debut album."
Sketchers People, Marketing Gurus, and the Plummeting Chart: ". . ."
Sketchers Dude A: "... THIS CALLS FOR PUPPIES!!"
And there you have it.
