It's kind of hard for it to be completely anonymous when there's only two people.  So if you think you guessed who's who then vote anyway.   Perhaps next time they won't even be anonymous since that is obviously not working.

If memory serves, almost half of the guesses for the previous contest were correct.

I think B is the better entry, if only because of the clown commercial.  I love the imagery of it.

However, like Jeff has pointed out, both are poorly written (probably due to writing them in such a short amount of time), and the contest could have been helped by having one story.

It doesn't matter who wrote what.

It doesn't even seem to matter how well or poorly either script is written.

Seems to be based on which concept is stronger, and it seems like the general concensus is that 1 is better on each entry, but 1 of the better concepts is better than the other better concept.

How's that for not adding any spoilers or revealing who wrote what?

I want to say that I don't know who wrote what.

The one who PM'ed me with the most money offered is...

C

Kidding- I liked A

The toaster strudel literal gag and smoking clown car were the best concepts.
When it comes down to which I'd rather see on television...
I'll take a smoking infant in a clown car over a housewife crammed with pastries.

E.D.

P.S. Smoking clown wife should be preggers.

A.
Its arms akimbo, not hands. Got into an argument with my last girlfriend about that. had to look it up.

I'm voting A. Neither were particularly good, but thats the fun of this no? The writing styles are conflicting to me. Wouldn't put it past ray to study Khamanna's writing style and try to mimic it. Therefore, I have no idea who wrote what.

Quoted from RayW
Just in case anyone's wondering WTH is going on still, the criteria was for two separate commercials for A) toaster strudel and B) an anti-smoking public service announcement.

Both within a three page constraint.

PG or PG-13 airable for broadcast TV.


Thanks! That's exactly what I was wondering.

Voted for B myself.

I'll be a big voice here   and say A is the better script and you can shoot me down later.  

The clown deal is old and way too cliche.

In A:

You can't live without healthy lungs!

Is developed so very nicely with the woman/man perspectives.

I think that men and women can relate to it and because it's comedic it
takes a load off.

I thought the clown story angle was too contrived in B. But to the author:

You rock!!! So don't let this negativity on this one cramp your style! You're ACE!!!

Michael, will there be 'who wrote what?' this time around?
It's the best part of the challenge, I think

I'm actually asking if it's okay for people to announce their guesses. Is it?
