An Ad for Alarm Systems

Motivation: We can’t deny it; sooner or later we will be overtaken by robots and/or cyborgs. If you care about your family, you will need to be prepared.

Ad: A father and son are playing a game of catch in the backyard on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Dad winds up for a long one and tells his son to start running, “Go long Chip!” As the boy runs to the end of the yard and near the bushes surrounding the yard, a large robot (1950’s style with arms waiving) emerges from the vegetation. Before the son realizes what is happening the robot pierces the boy, with a rather large spike, and proceeds to rip him in half. Pan to the father screaming, and then a hard cut to some text asking: “Do you have a Robot Alarm System? Protect your family from the uncertain evils of the future.”

Budget: $1 million. Set and actors will be cheap. But the robot has to look really gnarly, and there should be a lot of blood and shit
