THE SPOTS
"Handy Man" (:30) opens on a hunky male working in the basement of an apartment building. As feathers begin to rain down on him, he heads upstairs to see what the cause is. Opening the door of an apartment, he finds a bevy of beautiful young ladies having a pillow fight. One of the girls tosses him a pillow, as the tagline, "When you really need to be dry," appears on screen. The :30 "Macho" features an identical scenario with one change: the pillow fighters are a group of men.
Spots broke in February.
