3月10日上映的電影《她其實沒那麼壞》,被譽為終極版《穿著Prada的惡魔》,描述81歲的退休廣告界女強人「哈莉葉」,對凡事都有強烈控制欲望,連訃聞都要親自監控,於是找來一位小編執筆。
“A lifelong lover of rock and roll, who became a disk jockey at the age of eighty-one, Harriet Lauler passed away Thursday evening. As the founder of Lauler Advertising, she presided for many years over one of the most successful advertising agencies in the state. She remained close with former colleagues. And recently was often found at the Community Center where she mentored Brenda Wilson, a young girl from South Bristol. She is survived by her daughter, Dr. Elizabeth O’Malley and two grandchildren Spencer and Sage.”This is her obituary and it’s shit. I wrote it.
畢生熱愛搖滾樂,並在81歲當上DJ的哈莉葉.勞勒,在星期四傍晚過世。身為勞勒廣告公司的創辦人,她管理本州最頂尖廣告公司多年,和昔日同事們保持密切關係。最近經常出入社區中心,輔導布蘭達.威爾森,一位來自南布里斯托的小女孩。她身後留下女兒伊麗莎白.歐邁利,和兩個外孫史班瑟與塞吉。這是她的訃聞,寫得很爛,是我寫的。
