I used to work for this media intelligence company, and my job was cataloging commercials in different markets. At least once a month The Christmas Tree shops would release a new batch of 5 or 6 15 second spots, and I'd have to write the copy, and graphics for all of them.

Imagine trying to write a description of a christmas tree shop commercial that identifies it separate from the others:

JINGLE BEGINS "DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A BARGAIN..." GFX:[THE CHRISTMAS TREE SHOPS] 60ISH WF AND HUSBAND ARE EXCITED ABOUT BARGAINS. WF ADMIRES CINNAMON WREATH FOR $3.99. WF SEEN AGAIN TALKING ABOUT CERAMIC CAT FIGURE, GIFT FOR GRANDSON. HUSBAND SAYS "WITH THESE PRICES WE WISH WE COULD DO ALL OUR SHOPPING HERE" JINGLE CONTINUES. GFX:[DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A BARGAIN]

I made $9 an hour for this.
