How to Find a Man in a Down Economy? Advertise!

Posted on 04. Feb, 2009 by Kirsten Daly in Comedy, Odd Stuff

My time clock is ticking - could you be Mr. Right?

If you can’t get the man to come to you – go to where the men are! And that is exactly what Amy Borkowsky did during the Superbowl this year.With a captive audience of over 6o million, she took out a singles ad during the Superbowl.

A three million dollar man! What a great way to boost the economy and find Mr. Right. For your sake Amy, we hope that he is worth it.

What am I talking about? A Superbowl ad looking for a husband – Mr. Right (Sunday coach potato, beer drinking (honey, will you get me another beer), football watching man). Where is your dignity girl?

Amy! What are you thinking? Just because you have a captive audience does not mean that you are in front of the ‘créme de la créme’.  You may have just gotten yourself in front of 60 million, stereotypical Sunday afternoon football watchers – well, if you like football, that may not be a bad thing.

Fourth & Ten, 90 yards to go, 10 seconds left - Go For It!

But then again – that was a gutsy move and an inspiration for women everywhere. I wish I would have thought of something like that, (maybe on a slightly smaller scale) only a little sooner. It was bold and brash (with just a hint of desperation). It shows creative thinking and the willingness to go the distance. It is like being on the one yard line of the opposing team, its fourth down and ninety-nine yards to go with 9 seconds left on the clock and you are losing by six.

You go for it!

Any man watching the Superbowl would see the genius and focus of a person who has a goal and the plan to execute that goal. A visionary who thinks outside the box and oh yes, a great sense of humor.

What kind of man is Amy really hoping to find?

He has to be breathing! That is the main criteria. Amy describes him best:

Amy would like her Mr. Right to have a creative side, too, though he doesn’t have to be a writer or an artist; “I wouldn’t rule out a creative accountant,” she says, “unless his creativity resulted in federal charges.” Though she tries to get on the treadmill a few times a week, the fit Manhattanite says she’s definitely no athlete and wouldn’t be a match for anyone who expects his partner to join him in adventure sports like scuba diving or bungee jumping. “One of the sexiest things a guy could wear is a tight-fitting seat belt,” says the risk-averse woman who claims her list of favorite movies includes the airline safety video.

Quirky, slender, tallish and funny – so why isn’t Amy married?

Like a lot of ambitious women, Borkowsky says she spent her early single years focused on her career, first as an advertising writer, eventually transitioning to performing comedy and penning humor books.

Should anyone be surprised by a singles ad at the Superbowl? Not really! In today’s world of virgins (right!) selling their virginity in online auctions from a Nevada brothel to finding that perfect Mr. Right during the Superbowl – we have clearly seen what the power of advertising can do.
