Who writes this stuff?

I often find myself wondering about/pitying the poor English majors who find themselves paying the bills by writing descriptions for chain restaurant drink menus (or similar ad copy).

Article in the San Diego Union Tribune: “For the past 2½ years, Merrie Maino’s cat has been prowling her La Jolla neighborhood and bringing home just about anything he can get his mouth around…. When the San Diego County Fair begins its annual run tomorrow at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, that’s where some of Alvin’s stuff will be, in the collections exhibit, bearing this title: Look What the Cat Dragged Home.†Sounds like a great SI504 project.
