SFX: Woman squealing with excitement. Announcer: That’s what a happy lady sounds like. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Now listen to this. SFX: Woman crying. Announcer: That’s a woman somebody has made sad. How dare they, right? Do you want to know why she’s like this? Her boyfriend didn’t get her anything for Valentine’s Day. Now I know that it’s already come and gone, but in this case, the past will not stay in the past. The damage has been done. I don’t know whether or not you did any damage this year, but if you did, here’s your fix. Brentwood Florists at Brentwood Town Centre. Nurturing flowers, the spirit, and in this case, your lady friend. SFX: Excited lady noises again.

Announcer: Let’s take it down for a second here. We both know I’m an ad, so let’s get that right out of the way. Do you wanna know what the best part of me is though? It’s that I could be you. Well, not you, exactly. But I was written by a student. And I’m being read by a student. And I was produced by a student. I’m even airing on a station run by students. Look how good I turned out, being created by people just like you! I should know how good they are, I trusted them with my life and I turned out okay. Full disclosure though, you will have to do yoga. Apply online at BCIT.ca for the fall semester of Radio Arts and Entertainment.
