When a school puts on a big party/fair for fundraising purposes, offer the following service:
You write it, we spell it. Pay a dollar per word, Ms and Ws count double, and our lovely cheerleading squad will spell your texts, one word at a time, while you either film them or take pictures or, for
a small additional fee, have your picture taken with them and e-mailed to you.
(Now that almost everyone is walking around with a camera phone on them, there's a market for making interesting personalized performances that a person could not produce on their own.)
Just imagine breaking up with someone using this medium.

This is a bit frivolous for you, isn't it? + |

"hah, I'd like to witness that!" |
|
| |
Bun, for so many reasons but especially for that last line. I giggled long and hard. |
|
| |
I could really see this working, though. I've only ever seen 'multimedia messaging' or whatever it's called used for porn or pictures of beer. This would make a welcome change. |

Breaking up with someone in less than ten letters... |
|
| |
This could simplify things. |
|
| |
"H I M O M". It seems popular for normal signs, so why not for human signs. [+] for finding that weird spot between inspired and weird. |
|
| |
I would be willing to spend the full amount everyday just to have them flash especially neat signage to the surrounding streets. |
|
| |
May have to hire a few extras everyday, because many great phrases are more than 10 letters but less than 20 letters. |

MMMMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM |

Get the football squad in there. Offensive linemen for capitals. |
|
| |
Why not combine it with a car wash? |
|
| |
You can have them do a little dance or something to keep the drivers occupied while whatever school group is scratching their car up with brittle brushes and staining it with soap spots. |
|
| |
Somehow I never realized you were a cheerleader... |
|
| |
Put it on-line and have a webcam film the jumping and jiggling, and I think you've got a winner - people would likely be as interested in watching other people's messages. Though do throw in a boys' squad too, to make the whole thing less sexist. |

How did I miss this? I don't do the view thing, and just randomly browse. I think that jutta's ideas should have a different font, or size, or color in the recent listings. |
|
| |
That said, I can think of a million ways to use these lovelies to get my point across. Hey boss man, quick look out the window... |

That's easy - make it the cheerleader smell-o-rama font. |
|
| |
Clichés come to mind, but I'm wondering if this has been done for a packaged music cover? |
|
| |
A Locomotive for the Team! M.I.T. |
|
| |
Oops! (Massachusetts Institute of Technology .. hmmm ~ 34 letters ~ do spaces count?) |
|
| |
What is this obsession with numbers? Why do some letters cost double?
...Aah - do the cheerleaders form the letters themselves? |
|
| |
To maximise the market, the spell-o-ramans will have to permit punctuation, ampersats and the like. |
|

Bongwater had something similar on the cover of their album 'The Power of Pussy'. |

//Pay a dollar per word, Ms and Ws count double//
You mean per letter, i'm guessing. |
