Just had to share. A snippet of copy from one of the P2P sites. The rate is $500 for a 90 sec internet spot, so let's not bash the lowballers, but who is writing this stuff? And more so, who is approving it and handing over their money to get it produced?
It reads...
Well, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to see that using a B**** system to help protest your home, is, in fact easier than parallel parking.
A) I don't need anyone to help protest my home. I can protest it on my own and I'm sure the neighbors would help if I asked.
 If it DID take a rocket surgeon, where in the heck would you find one.
That's all.
I'm going to go pull the covers up over my head now and make them air tight.

Copywriting is a dying art...

With "rocket surgeon" I thought they were trying to be funny. By the time I got to "protest your home" I was sure they were at best incredibly uncaring and sloppy, and at worst..... well this is a family chat board.

Yeah, it doesn't take Brain Scientist to write "Rocket Surgeon."

Perhaps they were thinking of a fish astronaut and simply misspelled "rocket sturgeon".

Copy writing, it's easier than parallel parking!
(No, seriously. It is. But so are rocket surgery and brain science, so there ya have it.)

They must mean the PhD engineers at NASA. Rocket surgeons, every one.
