Being sick for the last couple of days, I’ve gotten to thinking about the possibility of some disease spreading across the globe and reaching pandemic proportions. So I got to thinking about the word pandemic.

It really doesn’t sound like such a terrible word. Well, knowing exactly what it means, yeah, it’s horrifying in a The Stand kind of way. But it sort of sounds like something that could easily be used in a Pizza Hut ad campaign.

For a limited time, buy a medium one-topping pan pizza and you can get a second one for just a buck! It’s a PANdemic!

And in the commercial, you could show pepperonis on a map, popping up like those little red dots that show where disease has broken out, spreading across the country.

I should so go into advertising.
