Voice-over:

Hello. I‚m Donald Trump, and I‚m here to talk to you men out there about a disease many of you don‚t want to think about ˆ prostate cancer. Look around you. If you know at least five other men, chances are at least one of them will get prostate cancer sometime during their lifetime. And that one person may even be you. If you have a relative who‚s had prostate cancer, your chances of getting the disease double. So, come on, guys. Get tested, and the sooner the better, because early detection may just save your life. It‚s time to say no more to prostate cancer. This has been a message from the National Prostate Cancer Coalition.

Hi, this is Al Roker, and the other day, I did something real smart. I got checked for prostate cancer. It was quick and painless, and the best part of all is that the test has given me and my family peace of mind. By now, all you guys probably have heard the statistics. Last year, nearly 200,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer. So, the time to ignore this killer is over. Do what I did. Be smart and give yourself and your family peace of mind. Get testedánow. It‚s time to say no more to prostate cancer. This message has been brought to you by the National Prostate Cancer Coalition.

PROJECT: :60 second radio spot

TYPE: Single voice, comedy

Voice: (a young girl)

SFX: BED SQUEAKING IN BACKGROUND

I've had it! This is the fourth night in a row I can't get any sleep. My parents have the squeakiest bed in the world. Every night I go to sleep at nine o'clock, and then squeak, squeak, squeak that darn noise wakes me up. What the heck are they doing in there, anyway? You know, I have half a mind to go right in there and tell them to go to the store and get a brand new Sealy mattress. It's got those new revolutionary coil springs that put an end to all the squeaking. You see those old metal coils just can't hold up to a lot of activity. I know. I used to jump on my old mattress all the time, and it used to squeak like crazy. Then, when I went to sleep, I'd roll into this deep valley in my bed. I could barely get out of it, it was so deep. Then my parents bought me a Sealy posturpedic mattress and  no more squeaks. (SFX: SQUEAKS) See, there it goes again! You know what? I'm gonna go in there and tell my parents to get a new Sealy posturpedic mattress. I'm sure they can go to a bedding store near them and get a great price on Sealy. Wait'll they see me walking in their room. Won't they be surprised? (FOOTSTEPS, VOICE TAILING OFF)

I've gotta get out of this burglary business. It's killing me. Let's see...the jewels should be in this dresser. (SFX: drawer opening) Hey, look at the colors on this guy's shirts! They're so sharp and bright. Boy, I wish I my wife could get sharp colors like these on my shirts. (SFX: whistling) Man! Look at the whiteness of this underwear.

 

Man: (nervous)

All right, buddy. DonÐt hurt us.

Woman:

Just, take what you want and leave.

 

Burglar:

All right, lady. How do you do it? How do you get your husband's whites so white and his shirts so bright?

 

Woman:

Simple really. I use Bluette in my wash. Bluette gets my whites whiter and my colors brighter. And, since it's not a bleach, look what Bluette does for my delicates. Check out these panties.

 

Burglar (whistles)

Incredible!

 

Husband:

Janice, those things are personal.

Those colors are spectacular, lady.

Please just take what you want and leave.

Well, Herb, on the last hole you told me your under shorts ripped. What went this time?

The undershirt, Bob. I guess I've got some new rags to polish the car with.

I know what you mean. You should see all the rags I have at home. But, I don't have that ripping problem anymore. I'm a McGregor man now.

Yup, and look. This underwear's been washed a half dozen times. It's what McGregor calls controlled shrinkage.

Not with McGregor brand.
