Simply Palm? Simply...Lame

 

At a meeting for Palm Pilot's "Simply Palm" campaign:

Ad Guy #1: So, how do we want to sell this thing?

Ad Guy #2: Well, we want to emphasize that it's got something for everyone by spotlighting people in different professions. Like this one: She's a dancer. We'll show that she keeps everything from her practice schedule to the reviews of her shows to reminders to buy leg warmers on her Palm Pilot.

AG#1: Terrif. And she's a dancer, so we could show her in some dance-y position, holding the PP.

AG#2: Love it. But better, how about we show her naked? Naked says dancer better than some little plie.

AG#1: And nothing says "Simply Palm" better than a naked dancer!

AG#2: Damn, this job is easy. Lunch?
