Forget About Being a Millionaire...Who Wants to Be a Copywriter?

To give everyone a vacation from so much hard work, the 5th assignment was more "show and tell" than real writing....I was being much nicer than any boss ever was to me.

The Assignment was:

Send me your favorite headline of all times. It could be current. It could be from the golden age of radio. All I need is the product and the headline in that order.

The Deadline was:

February 28, 2002. After which time, vacation will be over, the judges will be back at work, and your chance to win valuable gifts from Eddie Bauer will resume.
