AFPGHICP!! AFPGHICP!!

Many of the readers of this blog know that I'm very active in the grass-roots organization known as Americans For The Preservation Of Generous Health Insurance Company Profits better known by the acronym AFPGHICP ("say it loud, say it proud! AFPGHICP!!! AFPGHICP!!!")

Recently, I was privileged to participate in the production of some carefully targeted ad-ommercials (a clever combination of basic commercial message enhanced with an extra, subtle advertising aspect)

I wrote and produced the video you've probably seen recently, the one called "Don't take my Daddy's Bentley away!"  It features a sobbing little girl - daughter of a senior health insurance company executive - stares into the camera begging the viewer not to reduce insurance company profits because his Bentley is her daddy's favorite car, even more so than his Mercedes, his BMW or his Hummer.  Was that kid awesome, or what!!  When we shot that scene everyone on set was crying along with her.  But I'll tell you, that adorable seven year old with the missing front tooth went home with a huge smile on her face and a check for $17,500!!!

You'd be amazed at how many envelopes we get with $3 or $5 or even loose change from little old ladies anxious about the girl in the video and her daddy's luxury car, who tell us they cut back on food or medication to make the contribution.  Wow!  Isnt that awesome!  It's so very gratifying and heartwarming to know the message is working.

For people who want to help get the message out and meet other like-minded severe conservatives, we're having a candlelight prayer vigil tomorrow night to show solidarity with the embattled senior health insurance executives.  It starts at midnight, outside The Satanic Church of Holy Hell.   Free admission if you donate a can of food to help feed hungry insurance company execs.

We'll be serving refreshments (deviled eggs, devil's food cake, tap water in disposable plastic bottles, etc) and there will be entertainment including a battle of the bands featuring local guitarists competing against Satan himself playing his famous flaming Fender Stratocaster. And, back by popular demand, there will be virgin sacrifices, but as always, it's B.Y.O.V.

Hope to see everyone there!
