Just in time to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking, a TV commercial is advertising a necklace that contains an authentic piece of coal from the sunken liner. Personally, unless that coal comes with Leonardo DiCaprio attached to it, I don’t want it. But that is just me.
However, for $19.95, you can give your beloved a special remembrance of this horrific event. I don’t understand why this disaster inspires romantic emotions, but it does for many people. If I got this lump of coal, I would have to wonder what the symbolism behind this gift is. Does it say “Our love transcends time and space” OR “I think of our love as a doomed ship sinking hopelessly into the black and cold abyss, and that is why I am giving you this cheap necklace instead of a ring”? Hm. I guess this is an example of the old “You say Potato – I say Pototo” dilemma.
Maybe it’s just me but I was deeply inspired by Kate Winslet and her talents and not just one of them!
You were were you? What talents were those exactly?
Oh Donna, Donna, Donna! Do you really have to ask that question? You know Bill has a dirty mind. 😉
I’m picturing someone, somewhere, laughing and saying, “My God, I can’t believe people are actually buying this crap! BAHAHAHA!!! If this keeps up, I’ll be hiring Charlie Sheen as my life coach! WOO-HOO!!!”
Exactly Jack!!!!
I’m going with “sinking ship” metaphor.
I am with you! That truly is the only plausible one.
You’d have Christmas covered.
Yes, good point Phee! 🙂
