You know how on Bewitched, when Endora would have Darrin turned into a Donkey or a Monkey or some other wacky animal? And because he was Donkey/Monkey/Other Funny Mammal he wasn’t able to work on his big account, that if he lost it Mr Tate was going to fire him? And this all built up in the end to where he just knew he was going to be fired, but Samantha would come up with some clever rhyme-campaign that the client LOVED! So Mr White would promise Darrin a big raise, and put the carrot of a partnership in front of him so he wouldn’t quit his job after the terrible way Mr Tate had treated him.
What? Didn’t everyone spend their youth watching these shows?
Yes, the TV was my best friend growing up. My point is I think this recent press release highlights a contest that could have come straight from one of Samantha’s spur-of-the-moment ad campaigns. The AT&T Store in PQ, apparently the largest in the Mid-Atlantic (in your face Wilmington!) is going to hold singing auditions (in the store?) on April 19th from 11 am to 5 pm. The “winner” will get a trip to LA and tickets to a season 7 American Idol show. Tickets to the show will no doubt be a big draw for many people, but as for me, I’d rather let someone else watch so I don’t have to.

You see what happens when you complain about speakers and noise? They invite Idol over to audition at 7th and H corner!
This situation reminds me more of The Untouchables than Bewitched . . .
Malone: You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue.
*That’s* the Penn Quarter way!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
didn’t know it will be a flagship store. once AT&T gets the iPhones on their broadband/3G wireless network instead of the slower one it’s on now (EDGE), I might have to visit.
