Sewer Service Officially Not "The Perfect Gift"
Los Angeles (FN) - The Perfect GiftTM Group (PGG), the small but powerful marketing agency that holds the copyright to the phrase "Makes The Perfect Gift" has issued a rare decree stating that gift certificates for sewer-backup services are not, in fact, the perfect gift.
"That may be a bit of an understatement. In fact, it's kind of a 'shitty' gift. Ha, ha!" said company spokesman Tom Davis.
PGG, which was acquired by media conglomerate Time-Warner in 1996, normally hands out the "Makes the Perfect Gift" designation unconditionally to any business venture willing to pay a small royalty fee. During the Christmas season, the motto can be seen attached to a range of unlikely gifts, such as oil changes and socks. On only two other occasions, for Depends undergarments and for assorted enema products, has PGG refused to grant its designation.
