THE SERIOUS WORK

Don’t mean to be forward...but won’t you shadow dance for me?

If smooth had a sound, it would be this song.

Oh, advertising.  You get me.

So here's the "thing" Nationwide...I completely understand your desire to increase awareness about insurance, that, as a preventative measure, insurance helps you prepare for the worst.  Your desire to start a "fierce conversation" that addressed the harsh realties of inadequate household safety is noble.  But MAYBE, next time, try not to throw a dead kid in my face?  Not cool bro.  Here I am, a glutton for all things advertising, completely unaware of the Steven King novel unfolding.  Initially, I giggled, as the boy's imagination revealed itself in a series of well-crafted 3D animations; only to find out... HE.  IS.  A.  WAL-KING. CORPSE.  The fear is real folks.  Fully-functioning, sentient zombies who (notice the pronoun) look like us, talk like us, and are pretty convincing when camouflaging their insatiable appetite for brains.  So, Nationwide, thank you.  Thank you for heightening the anxiety that already consumes my soul as a soon-to-be MFA graduate.  I truly cannot wait for the undead apocalypse because, apparently, I won't even know that it's here.  You're the best!  That was sarcasm; sorry I waited until the end to reveal.
