Produce a 30-second Primo's commercial and then use your winnings to buy me a hoagie every day for a year

The other day, I went to the optometrist for a routine exam and had my pupils dilated. It was an extremely sunny when I left my appointment, meaning I was as blind as an elderly pug as I treacherously swerved through Center City on my bike en route to the office. Despite my temporary Magoo status, I still managed to pull up in front of the Primo Hoagies location on 11th Street and use a series of hand gestures to order my usual Big "T" Diablo — turkey, ham and American, with that spice blend, oil and L-T-O, of course. 

I luckily arrived at work in one piece, plopped down at my desk and downed my out-of-focus sandwich with great gusto.

Yup, I'll risk life and limb for one of those damn hoagies. Turns out, though, there's more than one way to show your love. From myprimocommercial.com:

PrimoHoagies wants you to produce a :30 television commercial with the theme, “Prime Time for Primo” and tell us when its your Prime Time.  We encourage you to be creative in your interpretation, however, the PrimoHoagies product and brand must be portrayed in a positive way.  Students can log onto primohoagies.com to get more information on the PrimoHoagies brand, or to find one of the 50 locations nearest them.

First place? A $200 Primo's gift card. Barring you using it to cater a football party, that thing could keep you up to your sideburns in Turkey Schwartzies until Obama's up for re-election. Three runners up wll receive $50 gift cards. Full contest details here; deadline is March 13. Get to camcordin'.
