Writing Bad Copy

November 7th, 2007 Posted in Writing

While writing ad copy for a missions organization tonight I almost wrote the phrase “missionary position” in an entirely non-sexual context and for a moment didn’t realize how bad that would have been.

Then I realized it and wondered if I could get away with intentionally using the phrase “missionary position.”

Then I wondered if any missions organization would ever intentionally use the phrase “missionary position” and pull it off.
