"Now she has to choose between the life she always wanted."
Are you the worst ad copywriter ever, or did somebody jingle their keys while you were writing the voiceover?

Wait, that was the end of the sentence? Worst cliffhanger ever.

Yeah, that was it. I had to rewind and make sure I'd heard it right. "Oh dear! What shall I do? I suppose I could live the life I've always wanted."

It's because they realized that the only truthful ending ("... and watching TV all day") was counter-productive to getting people to purchase their product.

I suspect there was something about a boy in there that they forgot to actually write copy for. It *was* The Hannah Montana movie.

I think I listen to too many silly radio shows, because my first instinct is to turn this into a game of "Finish the Sentence."

Now she has to choose between the life she always wanted...

...and a rectal probe.

...and fish sticks.

...becoming a filthy rich, sell out whore.

...eternal bliss.

...Tony Blair's y-fronts.

I might even consent to giving a prize if someone could come up with one that amused me greatly.
