My company is launching a new product this Fall - a phrase book for use on an iPod. The editors commissioned a video production to promote the new line. They were stumped at how to title it. That was my contribution. That and the closing line. 
It just launched on You Tube: YouTube - Crouching Tourist, Hidden Paper-Berlitz iPhrase ad

Hubby says "That's funny! Alright, Sara!!" He is, however, still a Luddite in the extreme and thus cannot be used to forward the video to, well, anyone.

Thank you all for helping to spread the word. Or words. In whichever language.

Are there rewards given for this kind of genius? If so, it would win one!
Great job! |

Thanks.
I can only take credit for the titles though. The storyboards were created by an independent production company.

Darn, Sara, I couldn't find it! But the German coast guard and the La Bamba ones were funny.

We (the publishing division) are a licensee of the language schools. Apparently, corporate was less than delighted with the use of "bathroom humor" and suggested quite emphatically that the video be taken down.
Yet they were okay with some of the other viral ads promoting their franchises that were significantly more offensive.
Go figure.

That wasn't "bathroom" humor....it was classic and classy and there was an innocence about it all. Wow! Too bad. | |
