*1 complaing that everyone always wants me to change thier lights bulbs in return for a free slice of pizza and a credit.
They ofcourse offer a free copy of the dvd including BTS of how the bulb was changed, which will never be completed and/nor delivered.

*None. The lightbulb was never changed because the leading actor who was a friend of the director, bailed at the last minute.

*None. The lightbulb was never changed because the producer was unable to secure the location.

*None. They decided it wasn't physically/practically possible and decided to go CGI only to realize that noone was able to render a CGI Lightbulb for less than $17,000.

*2. The Coens take on the task as a feature film, hiring Steve Buscemi to hold the ladder while Al Pacino snorts coke and wildy shoots a pistol at the bulb fixture while screaming, "You wanna poo poo with Me? You wanna to poo poo with Me?" Who do you think your poo pooing with , you little piece of dirt? "

*1. My nephew comes over, quickly changes the bulb and asks "Can I borrow $30 'till Friday?"

*3. Fat Monster starts a production on it, starts a thread and recieves over 30,000 posts inquiring how they are producing such a quality venture on a very low budget.
Warner Bro's takes notice and hires them to replace all of thier studio bulbs as part of a new web series.

* None. I start off talking about how to change the bulb and segway into something I did 25 years ago in Mexico while smoking a weed in the back of a Volkswagon in the middle of the jungle while 3 military men with machine guns come up on on us, taking the thread totally of topic.
At which point a few people post about mexico experiences before some smartass reminds us that we were supposed to be trying to figure out how to put in a lightbulb.
At which point ZaZaCast chimes in with his new ZaZaBulberizer and becomes an instant hit among the indie crowd.
