"What happens when you turn your back on the business of living?
When your get up and go, got up and went?
When you want to kick the cat, but the cat won't fight back?
          ...Who ya gonna turn to?"
                  MOOD BUSTERS!

Our group of hand picked, specially trained spankologists can give you what you need most; what your best friends and family could never give you. Or would even understand your need to do penance the good, old fashioned way.

Yes, here at MOOD BUSTERS, your deepest, darkest & most secret desire for being taken in hand, taken to task, and taken to the Woodshed can now be yours!

Our versatile staff and offices are designed to cater to some of the more traditional themes:

Our knowledgeable staff can help you design the punishment that is right for you! Put your bare buns in our hands, and you will be very, very sorry. We guarantee it!

(Your money back after the first session if not completely satisfied. But we reserve the right to change your mind: You must submit to another spanking before you can receive your money back. All subsequent spankings are non-refundable.)

Call NOW for your free tour of our training studios. Consult the staff on hand to give your the invaluable attention you so richly deserve. Test spanks are optional, butt encouraged.

We KNOW you will reserve a time, date, and punishment style that is convenient for you!

If requested, a free informational spanking video will be sent to you. Shipping & handling are not included.

No one will arrive at your door-unless a home visit is arranged by all parties.

So, what are you waiting for?

Don't let another day go by wondering what it would be like to give up control for an hour or two.

In a parallel world to ours, we might get ads like this. A world in which a) spankoism was a market large enough to be targetted more explicitly than here and b) was more accepted. Of course, that is exactly the kind of world we'd like to imagine. The author is to be congratulated (I think) for her valorous self-exposure to a great plentitude of ads, so that she caught the tempo and spirit of them flawlessly.

Strictly speaking, ads can't be truly parodied, of course. They're already so over-the-top that exaggeration is, alas, not possible.

Somehow, Bill Murray or Harold Ramis taking me over his knee is not exactly my kink! However, a good PROFESSIONAL otk is exactly what I'm looking for. Why is a good spanker so hard to find, anyway?

This is a very funny commercial... Oh, I mean Parody. Courtney drums up some very unique and original ideas with this comedy. Each paragraph is chock full of spanking fun. Each sentence is packed with laughs right to the very last line. The only thing that's missing is the price.

Now, A Word from Our Sponsors gives classic advertising language a light and funny spanko twist. I enjoyed this story as a whole, but especially liked the phrase, «we reserve the right to change your mind.»;
