As a child, I watched ALOT of television. When I say "alot", I don't mean afterschool when I was finished my homeowork or after going outside, television was my LIFE. I know that may sound a bit dramatic, but it's entirely true; I was addicted to televsion. So, from about birth up until the end of freshman year, I was completely and utterly glued to my television, even going so far as to refuse to eat unless there was a T.V. in front of me. The only thing that changed this was theatre. As some of you may know, the plays take up alot of time, leaving very little time for me to watch my best friend. Anyway, lately I've been watching a little more T.V. than usual, never straying far away from my new love: the computer, but there is one thing in particular that I love to watch and that is the Orbitz commercials. They are always fresh, funny and original. One commercial in particular is about a woman who confronts her philandering husband and his mistress. The original part of this commercial is that in lieu of standard profanity, they use funny phrases like: "What the french toast?" and "Who are you callin' a cootie queen you lint licker!?!". What does this have to do with my project? Pretty much everything, considering it's a gum commercial and my project is about dentistry. I thought that making dentistry funny and enjoyable might get more people to realize that it's really not that bad. Sure your gums will hurt after an occasional visit, you might even bleed, but if you take care of your teeth properly, you will have absolutely nothing to worry about the next time you visit Dr. Drill.

What the french toast!?!?

What a wonderful connection! Perhaps one day, when you have your own practice, you can invest some money into some creative, funny advertising instead of the bland, ho-hum ads that we see in the mailers. If you're a dentist who thinks outside of the box, just think of the possibilities.
I once heard a wild comment at Disney's Universal Studios of all places. One Hollywood character actor from the 1940s said to another actor: "Oh, just shut the front door!"
