Hail Marry: She wants Super Bowl ad--to get a guy
MSNBC ^ | 10/25/08 | Mike Celizic

Posted on 10/25/2008 5:52:09 PM PDT by Oyarsa

Amy Borkowsky needs to find a good man, and she wants your help. She’s not asking for much, at least not by the standards of the mortgage industry. Just enough money to buy a personal ad — during the Super Bowl.

OK, it’s a bit pricey: $3 million. But, Borkowsky points out, where else can she get the attention of 60 million American males, several of whom may be interested in meeting a 5-foot-6, 110-pound comedian and best-selling author (“Amy's Answering Machine: Messages from Mom,” “Statements: True Tales of Life, Love, and Credit Card Bills”) who is a member of MENSA and once won an artificial fireplace with a suggested retail price of $552 on “The Price is Right?”

Accepting donations Borkowsky’s problem is that, even after checking under the couch cushions and returning a lip gloss, she can’t scrape together the $3 million.

Well, it’s always nice when a network decides to help promote a young comedian’s career

I bet there is an ax murderer somewhere who would marry her

IMO Amy B looks like Cindy Lauper with a black wig.

Not my type at all. But as the saying goes, there’s someone for everyone.

The National Institute for Hitting-It went in search of a pole long enough to touch this topic with and determined that there wasn’t one long enough.

Hence, this individual will be placed in the I-wouldn’t-hit-it-with-someone-else’s-equipment category.

She just needs a nose job and breast implants.

I’m sure that every one of you guys who are criticizing her looks are absolutely gorgeous yourselves, and in flawless physical condition.

What does advertising cost on other networks during the Super Bowl? I always thought Budweiser could take out say, 1/2 hour on ESPN and show nothing but Bud Bowl — toward the end of the game when it’s often a blowout.

Nope. Then again we aren’t seeking the attention of 60 million members of the opposite sex either.

If you even wistfully hold yourself forth as marriageable to that many people, you’d better be bringing it at least somewhat on the looks front.

I mean at least pop for a glamour shot for cryin’ out loud.

I think she was looking at it in the opposite way: she’s slender, young, and surely out of sixty million viewers there might be one guy who would find her attractive, or at least tolerable based on a cute personality. Hey, if she was hot she wouldn’t have to advertise, right? Paris Hilton doesn’t need to take out an ad to get boyfriends.

It ain’t easy when you’re over forty. Trust me on this.

Actually I saw her on O’Reilly and she did a pretty good job. She said she wanted a man from Iowa, a farmer or someone that works hard. I am surprised by the outburst. I mean she seemed nice enough.

What she really needs is a cosmetic makeover. Her bone structure isn’t bad, and she has a decent figure. But that very-black hair (definitely dyed) is far too stark for her pale skin, and her makeup colors are awful on her. She’d look much softer and prettier with a lighter hair color (maybe a reddish brown) and decent makeup.

Just sayin’.

I suspect she is too demanding of perfection. I know a lot of women like that and that is a hard thing to deal with in a relationship.
