Statue of Liberty! You've Got Some Chocolate Right Here. No Here.



So here's another really weird dream I had last night that I'm totally not making up.

I had to come up with an advertising campaign for a donut chain. It was some donut chain from New York that I've never heard of. So my idea was to have someone secretly fly a helicopter to the Statue of Liberty at night and paint the lips and around the lips with brown paint so it looked like she had been eating chocolate donuts. But really make it sloppy - like if you handed a candy bar to a mental patient and said, "Here's your lipstick. Put it on."

So you've got The Statue of Liberty looking like she ate chocolate then the idea was to have a 40 foot replica of the donut box sitting next to The Statue of Liberty's feet.

Then I realize that it's a stupid idea because it's illegal to mess with national monuments but the client said that since they'd use paint that would wash off in a month they were OK with it.

Then I started getting nervous.

    I think it is a very clever idea! I mean, aside from the illegal part. You should charge for you expertise. ;)

    Would you think I was crazy if I said I liked this idea??

    It would definitely sell donuts

    I could go for a 40-foot chocolate donut right about now. I would hollow out a little tunnel and crawl inside so I could take a nap surrounded by its delicious goodness.

    Would David Copperfield be involved in that stunt/campaign? Because then it would be awesome.

    I'm simply stunned by your brilliance. You realize, even if it's illegal, the cops would forget about it as soon as they saw the big box of donuts; so go for it.

    Sounds good but Jersey would claim the donut was theirs then New York would claim the box was theirs. It would probably just get ugly.

    P.S. My verification word was hottie. Sweet.

    I hate to say it, but you know that chocolate would not be the first thing people assumed the Statue of Liberty had all over her face...

    Queen Goob - perhaps you might try writing your comment in MS word, spell checking, then copy and paste it to the comments area of my blog. You know how important spelling is on THAT BLUE YAK.

    I would absolutely eat donuts endorsed by the statue of liberty.

    I heard this blog won a bunch of awards. Where's the awards?

    I think this is a wonderful idea, and I think you need to write a book about all of your dreams.

    Like a coffee table book.

    So much better than my dreams lately.

    If the Statue of Liberty didn't work out...

    maybe Eva Mendez would do it?

    I'll be happy to lick that chocolate off of her, too! This idea is only for the European commercials that will stem from your great idea! ;)

    Nope... The donut company would be fined way more than they would profit.

    Better dream than I had. I dreamed we were attacked by falling dead bodies that were thrown from a see-through plane. THEN I dreamed my old boss hired me then fired me the next day for having breast cancer again.

    I gotta stop eating chocolate before bed.

    That would have to be one gigantic donut. In fact, that sounds like a donut I would like to have. Yum...

    You know, in a couple of weeks we will hear about how someone had vandalised the statue doing just that.

    I love that idea. Seriously. You need to copyright it before some dude on Madison Avenue steals it. Now I'm going to do my job, as promised.

    It's a good idea! And Diane had a good point. The cops would be so mesmerized by the giant box of donuts that they wouldn't even notice the "chocolate mouth".
