Cyberspace Clerks desired as shortly as feasible
"Cyberspace Clerks desired as shortly as feasible"
I was poking around my local Craigslist and ran across the deliriously
funny headline. I just watched "Soylent Green" last night and recently
we picked-up some old science fiction paperbacks with those
fluid oil-painted covers with nubile porcelain-skinned space goddesses
on them.
Somehow the pairing of "cyberspace" with "clerks" brought-to-mind
Kafka-esqu imagery (think Terry Gilliam's "Brazil"). Added to that
is the double-entendre of "shortly" and I see dwarf cyberspace
clerks wearing those old-school clerk visors and the white shirtsleeves...
As a copywriting geek I can't resist loving this ad, if only for it's
character.
Here's the ad itself. Not quite so funny as the headline.
