The Call For Volunteers
|
|
Over the years, we at ZUG have done a series of "pumpkin pranks" around the Halloween season, like blowing up pumpkins, or dropping them off an eight-story parking garage. This year, we're going to do our last pumpkin prank ever, our grand finale, and we need 50 volunteers to help us, one from each U.S. state. The prank is called "All-American Pumpkin." The concept is this: I will carve a pumpkin into 50 pieces, which will then be mailed to each of the 50 states. Our 50 volunteers will receive their piece of pumpkin, and print the name of their state on it. If they want to get creative, they can add a little representation of your state: the Texas piece could come back covered in oil, for instance, or the California piece could come back with a silicone breast implant. Or they can draw a little picture on it. Whatever. This is not a difficult assignment. You sign up, you get the piece in the mail, you scribble something on it, then you mail it back. There's hardly any work involved. I will then take all 50 well-travelled pieces of pumpkin and re-assemble the vegetable. See? It will be the All-American Pumpkin. It's an interactive stunt. It's brilliant. It totally disregards our international audience, and will probably piss off the Canadians, but what are they going to do, set up an embargo on bacon? Otherwise, it's brilliant. Maybe I'll shellac the All-American Pumpkin and, I don't know, donate it to a public library or something. I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm just trying to get the states lined up right now. Work with me here. This Halloween, do your patriotic duty. If you feel up to the task of representing your state on this historic national occasion, please reply by filling out this form. |
