Best Pagan Commercial of 2021

Posted by on in Culture Blogs

 

Setting aside the commercial endorsements (it's the ad—you can see it here—that gets the award, not the product), this year's Golden Broomstick Award for Best Pagan Commercial goes to...

 

Scene: Ancient Rome. Outside the Colosseum, two swordswomen are sparring.

 

(Lively swordplay.)

Fighter 1: (puts up sword and grimaces)

Fighter 2: Had enough?

Fighter 1: (rubbing elbow) No, arthritis.

Fighter 2: (slides product down sword blade toward Fighter 1 and flips it to her) Here...new (product name).

Fighter 1: (takes product, applies to elbow) Full prescription strength...reduces inflammation...thank the gods!

Fighter 2: (Grins) Don't thank them too soon!

(Lunges forward.)

Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch was raised in the hardwood forests of western Pennsylvania by white-tailed deer. (That's the story, anyway.) He emigrated to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of Lake Country's foremost men-in-black. He is current keeper of the Minnesota Ooser.
