The Great Band-Aid Rip-Off (Proposed Ad for Band-Aids)

In this proposed ad for Band-Aids, we see the title, as if the ballyhooed title for an exploitation movie: "The Great Band-Aid Rip-Off!" And then we cut to a bathroom, where a little kid has a Band-Aid on that needs to be removed, but he's scared to pull it off. So his mother says they're going to rip it off together in 3, 2, 1... (And there is great pathos, suspense, and gnashing of teeth.) And then they tear the Band-Aid off. But because it's a Band-Aid, with its special design, it doesn't hurt when it's removed like other stick-on bandages. So the announcer says that ripping off a Band-Aid is no big deal, and that's great!
