About a month ago, I shared with you that Raley’s was having a contest where folks create a 30 second commercial about their private label products. Unfortunately, my entry did not make the top 3 finalists. I think if I had not missed the first 2 seconds of filming when the Oakmont cheer team actually says “Raley’s fine foods”, my offering would be in the running. But I will not cry over spilt milk, as it was a blast to do anyway.
One of my co-workers at Bel Air, Chris, had 2 entries, and both were done very well. So well, that one of them was selected to be in the top 3! And if I cannot win it, then I will support Chris by voting for his selection. If he wins, he gets a $5000 shopping spree at our stores. With that in mind, I am asking that you take a look at all 3 entries here: http://www.raleys.com/cfapps/contests/090219_commercial_contest.cfm
And I think you will agree that his is the best one, and you will vote for him as well. Right? OK, if you really like one of the other two, then by all means, break Chris’s heart, and vote for it. *Just know that Chris works 4 jobs to put food on the table for his 9 children, and to keep elderly grandparents in fresh Depend’s. He even operates a rickshaw in our parking lot during his lunch breaks for extra dollars. So saying that he could use the money is kind of like saying cop’s like doughnuts, or that Angelina Jolie likes babies from other countries. Duh. So vote for his entry, which shows his little boy using a ladder to get some Raley’s brand Oatey O’s. Do it for his family, do it for the call of freedom, or do it because I told you to. Just do it!
* This story was entirely made up to tug at your heartstrings to manipulate your vote. If the Hallmark channel can do it, not to mention every slick politician, then so can I! Chris really has 3 children, and I am not sure about the status of his Grandparents, but he is a nice guy, and promised to buy me some Eye of the Hawk beer if he wins. So it is still important…
Also, here is another poem from my collection. Please, if anyone knows a good artist that could illustrate my work, I would appreciate the hook-up. I cannot afford “professional” artists but need to have them done before I shop around for publishers. Thanks.
The Good clown
I believe with all my heart, that all clowns are bad.
They have scared me silly, since I was just a lad.
Then I heard good news, that one clown was good.
Killing all the bad clowns, just like he knew he should.
He was very smart, and knew just what to do.
Beating bad clowns dead, with his giant funny shoe.
One by one he stalked them, and made sure they were dead.
Laughing out loud and smiling, as he bashed their head.
The bad clowns were afraid, they knew they were in danger.
Never knowing who to trust, afraid of every stranger.
They did not know the culprit, or if he was one of their own.
They hoped he would be caught, his identity would be shown.
But only one clown knows for sure, one clown holds the key.
Let me tell you a little secret now, the good clown is me!
Faith, Hope & Love
