Okay, it’s a really long story, but basically I’m working on an assignment for funeral service memorials. And one of the ‘deliverables’ is a prayer card in which customers can choose from one of a number of pre-determined prayers (i.e., The Lord’s Prayer, An Irish Blessing, some poems, etc.).
The problem is, most of these prayers won’t fit on the prayer cards. So here was one of the AE’s suggestions to the client:
“Condense these prayers down to fit. We could ask our copywriter to take a stab at this, but it may really hurt the overall meaning, and be offensive to some.”
Really, now…do I want to risk a trip to hell for that kind of assignment?!?
Ha ha ha…
I love tales like these from our day jobs.
All you need is two words: Yay God!
Just yada yada it.
Our Father, who art in heaven, yada yada yada, Thy will be done, yada yada yada, forever and ever. Amen.
