NEW
YORK, June 18 Now you can trigger a virtual screaming match
with Jack Nicholson. A contributor to Howard Stern's syndicated radio
show has gathered what seems like every movie line that actor Jack Nicholson
ever yelled, from You cant handle the truth to Heeerrres
Johnny. Listeners call in to talk with Jack then hear
one of the pre-recorded Jack lines yell back. Its a big hit. So
big that money mavens are calculating ways to expand on the idea. ScreedMe
has uncovered 10 recent suggestions:
Blarney
Billie Replete with authoritative tones and emphatic
language, Bill Clinton fibs in progressively ingenious ways. Callers hear
the former president devise cleverly deceptive answers to questions as
apparently basic as which direction does the sun rise and set each
day? Sample Answer: Well, that depends on how direct the direction
is. (Note: NY residents are eligible to request Double Duplicity
featuring Bill Clinton & Al Sharpton.)
You Think Youre So Smart Aspiring
entry-level employees call different company job-lines to hear the panoply
of mind-numbing tasks inflicted by resentful and fearful middle management
overlings on menacingly energetic new workers who threaten to wield their
talents beyond the mailroom.
Hey - Im Dying Here - Frenzied emergency
911 callers hear a dizzying pre-recorded menu of options ranging from
garden care to auto repair before ... press # for emergency assistance
or if you wish to speak with an operator.
Charge It - New York men calling New York women
for dates, endure a shower of questions about income, career prospects,
and credit card limits. *Callers over 30 can hear bonus recordings that
focus exclusively on the price of diamonds and the sorts of rings they
best fit into*
My Girl Candy - New York women calling New York
men for dates, endure a peppering inquiry over their appearance, obedience,
and willingness to engage in a lipstick brand of bi-sexuality, all in
an effort to locate the best rent-a-trophy for the month. * Female participants
must first sign a pre-nup. No exceptions*
Declasse - New Yorkers of any gender calling
Paris asking for the best McDonalds in Europe hear
a punishing series of Yankee-get-off-the-line putdowns from perma-annoyed
Francais miffed they wasted so much time developing the rarely used Concord
instead of building the overused SUVs they are so quick to deride.
Fuck You Frenchie - Parisians calling the Big
Apple to set it straight are splattered with a Pepe le Pew cliché
cascade obsessing over the French record in WWII and ending with an international
challenge that pits Jean-Marie Le Pen against Pat Buchanan for the angry
white guy arm-wrestling championship of the world.
Yes
Sir Yasir Callers asking Yasir Arafat to explain why
he passed up the Clinton brokered 2000 peace deal offering Palestinians
near 1967 borders with Israel hear, if it werent for those
damned Jews, a bright and bountiful West Bank would take its natural place
as the Bali of the Middle East and East Jerusalem would quickly rival
Stockholm for urban order and civil liberty.
Dont
Call Me Fatso Callers asking Ariel Sharon to explain
Sabra & Shatila hear, if it werent for those damned Arabs,
a Zen and poetic Likud would make Israel the Sweetheart State
of the Middle East and West Jerusalem would quickly rival Philadelphia
as the city of brotherly love.
We Had Orders - Impoverished Third-World denizens
calling Switzerland for plundered money deposited in secret Swiss accounts
by numerous nefarious dictators hear an automatic response: Why
do you call? We are simple people of cheese and mountains, makers of fine
clocks and white chocolate. You were not there. You cannot know what it
was like. We did what we could
uh, pardon me please, this must
be the message on stolen Jewish art. Fredrique, I ask again, please change
this tape!
