Last night TCM showed Throne of Blood, and in that film, there’s a scene where two attendants air out a room where the previous commander of the castle took his own life; apparently from their dialog, the bloodstain won’t come out of the floor no matter how many times it’s cleaned. Well, that’s just a movie making a point, because in real life, you could just put new flooring over it! So how about a Throne of Blood flooring commercial for a place like Empire? (Empire is a flooring/carpet business here in Southern California.)
So here’s how this would work: We’d see that scene in Throne of Blood, and then the announcer would say: “Here at Empire, we understand that to build an empire, some people are going to get defeated and commit suicide, leaving an unremovable blood stain on the floor. Well, here at Empire, we specialize in covering over stuff like that with our flooring and carpets! So if you’ve got a bloodstain that won’t come out of your castle flooring, we’ve got a special deal for you! So call the bloodstain cover-up experts at Empire, and we’ll give you a new floor to cover up the evidence of your bloody ascent to power!”
Oh, but in that scene, there’s lots of bloodstains on the walls too, aren’t there? Well, that looks like a job for Astek wall coverings: with a name like a dynasty that spilled a lot of blood, they ought know how to cover it up! See what I mean?:

(Just kidding! I can't speak for Empire, but I do know Astek, and they really are great!)
