Love it love it love it. Havent seen that commercial but will keep an eye out! As a fellow writer I feel your pain. In fact, so much, I will write a better ad for Special K in script form below:

V1: Hi Jane, you look good today!
V2: Thanks John, I've been trying this new breakfast cereal.
V1: Oh really? Whats it called?
V2: Special K, you should try it, it gives me a real "buzz" and I can tackle anything life throws me after eating out!
V1: Wow - thats great. Where do you buy it from?
V2: All leading supermarkets!
V1: I'm on my way now!

Anncr: Special K. For anything life throws at you.
See your leading supermarket today.

SEE!! They should have come to me first. Creative genuis at its best.

IN YOUR FACE!
