Zappos "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" Ad (Proposed)
In this proposed ad for Zappos based upon the silly sic-fi/horror movie Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, a woman with 50 feet (50 feet at the tips of her 50 legs, in a joke on the title of the classic silly movie) shows up at a shoe store to buy shoes, but they do not have 25 pairs of the same shoes in the same size in stock, so she cannot buy her shoes, and so she goes on the rampage (or we see her angry face and crazy eyes, and it is suggested that she goes on a rampage, due to the title of the ad: "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman"). And then the announcer tells us that while most shoe stores would not carry a large enough selection and stock of shoes for the 50 Foot Woman, Zappos carries whatever shoes she wants all the time, in whatever styles, sizes and colors imaginable. And if they've got enough selection and stock to serve the 50 Foot Woman, then they surely have whatever you might want.
