My cousin Brad tipped me off to a dream come true last night: my long-awaited pocket giraffe.
Brad, his wife Marcia, Jay and I have been fascinated by the
DirectTV "Opulence, I has it" ad campaign for awhile now.
Early on, I proclaimed my need for a pocket giraffe to make my life complete.
These ads are great. They are the creative brainchild of Biscuit Filmworks' director Tim Godsall,
and I congratulate him.
The content is rich. The details are myriad. My husband's eagle eye spotted the poker-playing
dogs in the background of the initial commercial, which debuted last year.
They make me want to subscribe to DirectTV immediately, except that
I am already a paying subscriber.
(DirectTV, if you see this and want to offer me a year or a lifetime of free service, please email.)
I love you, DirectTV.
Here are the ads, if you've not seen them:
This is sheer brilliance. They've set up a website where you can visit Sokoblovsky Farms, the
best and only breeders of Petite Lap Giraffes.
I have applied for my very own, and proudly hold number 24,124.
There is a webcam to view the tiny "bulls".
You can find out all about the care and feeding of PLG's:
"With training they will go in box like cats."
Apparently, they are partial to bubble baths, distilled water and bonsai tree leaves, too.
I hope DirectTV will not mind my sharing and promoting
their fantastic website for your amusement.
Did I mention I'm a subscriber?

When I receive my Petite Lap Giraffe (in the mail?) I'll put up some cute pics for you,
