I want to one day work writing funny commercials, one day even a movie, how do I get there? I'm still 20!?

June 26, 2008 - 12:00 am 4 Comments

I'm a funny guy, not to mention modest.My creative juices are always flowing and I'm always thinking up crazy stories/scenarios/sketches. My dream job would be just brainstorming funny commercial ideas, obviously one day being able to produce/write my own movie would be spectacular. I've thought of doing some stand up at the local improv's open mic nites, and many of my friends are encouarging me to. But what about from an educational stand point? Any majors that would help me? I'm still in school and I don't want to chase some pipe dream of living my life from freelancing, I'd like to go to school for something steady, so if that major can be transferrable to a lot of good jobs, I'm for it!

advice?

I have always felt the same way you do. I switched back in forth during college but finally landed in marketing. The reason i ended up chosing marketing was because in a few of my classes we were put in groups and challenged to compete against other groups to come up with the best ad campaigns. We were given a few months to work on ads and i had a great time doing it. Since then i started taking all marketing classes and they were all pretty much geared towared the same thing. You learn alot about how to target certain markets (age, location, race, gender etc…) different ways to go about appealing to them (funny, serious, testimonial etc…) I've loved learning about and found i was really good at it. However now im in my last semester and i've began to put out alot of resumes. My goal was to work for some advertising company working on different companies ads and market plans. The problem is i haven't been able to find any sort of job like that. I'm beginning to think it was a pipe dream… however i'm assured by teachers and others that those sort of jobs are out there. I'll warn you most of jobs available to marketers are in sales… however most of the schooling was geared towards what you were talking about (except for the movie part) Give it a shot… my best advice would be to look for that ideal job early on… get some internships and you'll probably find yourself in you dream job soon enough.

How is it possible for a woman to get a restarining order on David Letterman when she has never met him?

Of course we all know that it is because of the discriminating Violence Against Women Act in which a woman can get a restraining order on virtually anyone and for any reason with out any sort of evidence and only her word.
I am completly for protecting women from abusers but at what expense should this be done. Should we just give out RO's like they are candy and regardless of the absurdity of the claims and the lack of substancial evidence.
This is, in fact, the number one tool used by women in divorce in order to remove the father from the childrens lives and then to establish herself as custodial parent through a series of other dirty tricks that the court seems to not only look the other way on, but promote using these tactics.
How can we ensure that we protect women who are truely victims of abuse yet also protect men what are victims of absurd claims based off no evidence?
curious gal: sigh…it is clear you did not read the link…actually it was for the famous David Letterman and it was issued that he had to stay away from her.
Sorry I just realized link does not work. Try this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restraining_order_abuse
Otherwise just google it

Joe,
You're well read on this. This is the exact tactic used and is widely known, common knowledge and is still allowed. Once out, you will not get custody or equally shared custody. My friend was removed because his cheating wife "didn't feel safe". He's a kind and well mannered guy and I'm certain was no threat. All he wanted was shared custody, once that was mentioned a couple days later he was out. While everyone needs to be protected, you can't indiscriminately toss people in jail or out of the home. This is another reason fro 50/50 shared custody unless reason to PROVE otherwise. Also, being removed from the home is a ridiculous reason for sole custody. Change those things and this abuse is largely gone.

What is the funniest line in a movie that wasn’t meant to be funny?

June 17, 2008 - 12:00 am 8 Comments

I love “Brokeback Mountain”, but every time Michelle Williams’ character says “More like…Jack Nasty!” I burst out laughing, even though it is such a sad scene! What other unintentionally funny lines like that are there?

ummm in invasion (2007) Nicole Kidman tells her son in the movie that if she falls asleep he has to stab her in the heart with an injection(like a shot) and she says it soooo serious it was so hard not to laugh

Was Jay Leno protecting Hillary on his show the other night?

June 17, 2008 - 12:00 am 1 Comment

On the Jay Leno show the other night they were showing the wives faces with all of the politicians that cheated on there wives and got cought, but they never showed Bill and Hillary, Why???
Jay Leno is one of my favorite shows.

Everyone already knows about the Billary issues during Bill's presidency. He probably had other Hillary jokes anyways. Most news reports that are covering the same story (or course not in joke form) are also just mentioning the Lewinsky thing because it's so widely known.

I really doubt he was protecting her.
