Control commercial for the Looney's Hack Show Date: Tue, 11 Aug 92 09:27:34 EDT From: adw@sunsrvr1.cci.com (Allen Williams (co-op)) To: bjp2399@ritvax.isc.rit.edu, pmb1566@ultb.isc.rit.edu COMMERCIAL: Scene: A mall for snobs (WASP). Among the patrons, there are two moms sitting on a bench. Mom #1 looks tired and disheveled. Her hair is a mess and her kids (4 of them) are being rowdy, pulling each other's hair, screaming, climbing mall trees, bumping into passing shoppers and being a nusance. Mom #1 makes some weak protests but she's way too tired to do much. An older couple pass by. They are old and expensively dressed, and speak in Hav-ad accents. Older Woman: My, what rude ruffians, Harold! Just simply atrocious! It must be bad upbringing and pedigree for someone to let children act like... like.. gorillias or chimpanzees! Older Man: Quite right, Mildred, let's go find a policeman who will put these unbehaved animals to the zoo! Mom #1 looks unhappy and looks dispairingly at her children, she looks about ready to snap. The couple go a few steps, but the Older Woman stops and looks approvingly at Mom #2's children. Mom #2's children are sitting on another bench, and they are sitting quietly. Each of the children are well dressed, and they don't fidget. Older Woman: My! Look at those well behaved children! Aren't they adorable, Harold? Older Man: Absolutely! Fine, young disclipined children! Properly raised, and sure to be a credit at any Ivy League! Older couple glares at Mom #1, who withers, and Mom #2 smiles conscendingly, nose in air. Mom #1: Oh, I'm at my wit's end! How can I make my children behave? Do you go to a child physchologist? I don't see how you do it! Mom #2: Why, nothing as expensive as that! I use CONTROL, the child sedative approved for use by hyperactive children! Scene shifts sightly to Mom #2's children, who look somewhat zonked out. Mom #1: Really! I can see that it works very well! Mom #2: That's right! More than half of the mothers at my country club use CONTROL, and I have absolutley no problem ensuring that my children are in their absolute best behavior when their nanny's not around. Mom #1: I'll try it on my children! Mabye I will become a social maven once again! Mom #2: And it's available by prescription at better doctors everywhere! And my children jusst love it, it's addicting! A little girl belonging to Mom #2 walks up to Mom #2 and tugs at her sleeve: Little Girl: M..m..more pills, mommy! Mom #2: Why, sure, Suzy! What a good little girl! Mom #2 gets a whole handful of pills from a big bottle, gives it to Suzy, who scarfs them down eagerly. Mom #2 gives the bottle to Mom #1, winking knowingly.
