Help ProFlowers come up with an appropriate ad campaign.

Imagine -- a flower company that wants to associate itself with the most vile insults against women, from "slut," "prostitute" and "round heels," to voyeuristic sex videos, aspirin for chastity, and the shame a woman's parents should feel...

They need an ad campaign to reflect these values, so that every woman who receives flowers for any occasion has a good sense of the company's values.

A few suggestions for their next ad campaign came up in this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002379636

I'm sure we can come up with a few more. Help them out here.

I know it's poor form to laugh at something of your own, but I'm still kind of amused by my "Happy Mothers' Day... Slut!"

I'm sure that conservative women the world 'round would be just thrilled to receive one of those bouquets.

I'm amused by that, too!

Also, how about: "On Mother's Day, A special note of thanks..." Inside: "I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been such a sex-crazed round-heeled woman who couldn't afford birth control. I love you!"

ProFlowers has the bouquet to make her forget...until next time.

ProFlowers, for when you're ashamed to shop locally.

ProFlowers, the wife beater's friend

Some men send flowers to say "I love you."
Others call ProFlowers.

ProFlowers, for the sluts in your life

ProFlowers: We'll screw you too.

This is fun!
