It was about everyday life -- sort of
The basic premise of the soon-to-end comedy creation known as "Seinfeld" is its wacky twist on everyday life situations. Imagine living in the Seinfeld zone, and all of the crazy convolutions that are part of the comedy adventure. Celebrate the end in a most unusual way. Planet Direct, together with the J. Peterman Company, has created an Essay Contest for you. The challenge -- tell us how Elaine might describe the latest items in the J. Peterman catalogue. Do you have what it takes to write in the J. Peterman style? Capture the unique and creative style in your entry, and you could win a gift certificate to the real J. Peterman catalogue or other cool J. Peterman items.
The contest starts April 20, and ends on May 14, 1998, when the Seinfeld characters bid farewell (in their own style) on the last Seinfeld episode. Until then, you have your chance --submit your own catalogue description in Planet Directs Seinfeld Essay Contest.
