Commercial Break


A Kitchen


We see a man bundled up in heavy winter clothing. It is apparent that it is very cold in the room because we can see the man’s breath condensing into a cloud as he exhales. He is busy setting up a coffee maker.

A woman walks into the kitchen. She is also dressed in winter clothing and has a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She pulls the blanket tighter around her and speaks. “It’s freezing in here!”

“I know,” the man answers, “but I had to make the coffee.”

“I wish there was some way we could keep the house warm while we make coffee,” says the woman.

A man with long white hair tied back in a ponytail, a short beard, and glasses steps into the kitchen. He is wearing a grey dress kilt and a jacket to ward off the cold.

“Now you can!” he says. “Hi, I’m the Wizard of BC. No longer do you have to make the choice between heating your home and having some coffee. With the new FK Coffee Delivery System, you can do both.”

“The FK Coffee Delivery System,” he continues, “uses a geothermal water source for heat and pure, naturally filtered, water. Then, using a solar roasting platform which combines electric generation to operate the pumps and an old ceiling fan to evenly rake the beans while roasting, the coffee is then piped through the entire house in a system of heat dissipation panels which are used as central heating similar to radiators.”

“Over 500 gallons of coffee are maintained at piping hot temperatures inside the system without burning the brew. Spigots are carefully positioned so that no matter where you are in your home, you always reach out and refill your cup with rich hot coffee. Each spigot is controlled by a laser sensing beam that eliminates the need for manual buttons or levers to dispense the coffee.”

“Better yet, the system is environmentally friendly and uses no outside power, water, or other utilities. In fact, excess electricity is produced by the system and allows the owner to sell it back to the power company, thereby not only paying for itself but creating enough income to pay for the coffee beans.”

The scene changes. We see a small table in the same kitchen. The same couple is seated at a table, along with the Wizard. Instead of heavy winter clothes, everyone is now dressed in light clothes. The Wizard is wearing a Hawaiian shirt along with his grey dress kilt.

The man reaches out and places his cup under a spigot. From the spigot, steaming hot coffee pours out and fills the cup, shutting off automatically. “Wizard of BC,” he says, “this FK Coffee Delivery System is great and the coffee is fabulous.”

“And I can’t believe the house is so warm” says the woman.

“I’m glad you like it,” says the Wizard. He turns towards the audience and the camera zooms in on him. “The FK Coffee Delivery System gives you hot coffee and a warm home. Get yours today.”

The scene changes to show the Wizard again. This time he is working in a laboratory. He turns to address the viewers. “And now, for those times you’re away from home on an adventure in your zeppelin, there is the new FK Mobile Coffee Delivery System. This system uses the heat generated by your airship’s engines to keep your coffee hot and ready, no matter where you fly.”
