TV Commercial in the works!!!

We are at it for round two! That’s right, this is our second attempt to produce a commercial that meets the “standards” of decency for the big bad corporate TV moguls to allow on the air. When I say on the air, I of course am referring to the midnight hour and beyond.

Here’s the history:

• Two years ago we tried to make a TV commercial.
• You can actually see the rough cut on our YouTube Channel.
• We asked our TV representative exactly what we were allowed to show.
• He didn’t seem to think much of showing products especially since it was late night.
• We were skeptical, but what do we know about producing a TV commercial.
• We enlisted a few friends to help us. They did a great job on screen!!!
• We staged the boutique for optimal lighting, product displays, and perfect decor.
• We shoot the commercial, and it came out like any late night local cable commercial would.
• The high-def TV commercial was sent to corporate to start running, and boom!

To say the shit hit the fan is an understatement. The video guy ended up sending us an edited version of the TV commercial. Let’s just say everything but our faces were blurred out. No products, no store, no beautiful furniture or decor. Just one big blob of blur!!! It was awful. Those TV moguls enlist some serious corporate lawyers to really put the smack down. Needless to say, we were left with a rough cut commercial and walked away.

Two years later, we are going for it again. More cautious this time. More knowledgeable about the legal parameters. However, still perplexed why at midnight we can’t show our sexual enhancement products or our cute classy little boutique on air.

What do you think about it? Are the TV moguls protecting “family values” or are we being treated unfairly?
