Talking Pants
Shhhh…
The folks at Dockers (Levi Strauss & Co.) have an interesting new contest – create a story about your pants and submit it as a video for consideration in the Dockers contest. You could win a chance to see your ad during The Tonight Show on NBC.
What would your pants say if they could talk?
Personally, I don’t think I’d want mine being interviewed for a televised commercial…
Interviewer: So pants, tell us about your typical day.
Pants: Not much to say really. I usually just hang out in the closet with the other Dockers until this guy grabs me, takes me out of the closet, and then puts me on his torso – usually with some embarrassingly mismatched shirt.
Interviewer: You’re saying he has bad taste in shirts?
Pants: Dude, it’s like ‘hello, the 80s called and they want their Van Halen shirt back’. It’s reprehensible I tell ya. His idea of a ‘sport coat’ is a Nike jacket.
Interviewer: Maybe you should suggest some new shirts.
Pants: Oh, believe me, I’ve tried. He just says ‘I don’t need your opinion, shut your fly’.
Interviewer: Oooo… harsh. Ever any excitement in the day?
Pants: Well, there’s a lot of sitting around. Sit in the car. Sit in the office at work. Sit in the car on the way home. Sit in the office at home. Site on the couch. The only time there’s anything happening down in my area is after he’s eaten a few bowls of chili.
Interviewer: I assume he’s been faithful to you at least.
Pants: Yeah, right. Every night when he thinks I’m sleeping, he’ll toss me over in the corner for that low-class tramp, little miss sweatpants. Hussy…
Interviewer: I sense a lot of anger in your voice.
Pants: Oh, anger. He’ll know the meaning of anger. I’ve got a little surprise for him with this new trick I learned to do with my zipper. No further details at this time though.
You know. Maybe I should start treating my pants better…
