Ask A Ninja :: SimplyScripts Screenwriting Discussion Board

Probably one of the funniest online shows in existence. Not for everybody but it amuses me. For those who don't know, it is a guy answering questions, thus the title "Ask A Ninja"

Anyway I wasn't sure where to post this and thought it is kind of a series. I just purchased the DVD and they sent me the following e mails which I thought were hilarious.

Dear Steven,

You have chosen to risk life and limb to order the Ask A Ninja Volume 1
DVD.  You have earned Film Baby's eternal respect for your obvious bravery.

A messenger just tip-toe'd over to the Ninja's office and whispered to him
in his sweetest voice that you'd REALLY like one of his DVDs.  He said to
tell you that he'll send it to you, and he looks forward to killing you
soon.  And then he killed the messenger.

Provided the Ninja doesn't kill US first, we'll ship your DVD right away.
We'll send you another email to WARN you that a NINJA is on its way to your
house.  You'll be hearing from us again shortly.

Then the next day...

Dear Steven,

We have good news and bad news. The good news is that your order of Ask A Ninja Vol 1. DVD was shipped out today. The bad news is that there is also a real, live Ninja on his way to your house. Use extreme caution when opening your mailbox in the next few days. Just before we sealed the box, our packing master thought he heard a whisper saying "I am looking forward to killing Steven soon". We can't be sure. It was either that or "what the hell... why are you stuffing me in the in this..." and the rest was muffled.

Please rest assured that we've taken great care in the shipping of your DVD. We hold true to an ancient DVD shipping tradition passed down for over 5000 years. This very intensive practice is only achieved after years of training, meditation, and purity of mind, and sadly' some accidental killings (we're looking for a new intern, if you know anyone...). After a rigorous 17 step process of verifying the authenticity of your DVD, we donned silk gloves and placed it into a sacred box made of magic and lined with Unicorn fur, tied the box with a strand of Gypsy hair, and wrapped the whole thing in a snazzy looking faux gold leaf paper, with elm leaf inlay from Costco. Unfortunately, by the time it gets to you, all of that fancy stuff will likely have been picked clean by the greedy postal service employees. Please don't be surprised to see just a plain cardboard box. We look forward to kill...er...serving you soon.

A creative way to keep costumers interested in your products.
