Please Give Amy Sedaris a Tampon Commercial

“When I was young, we had a cousin in a wheelchair. She had problems with her kidneys. I think that wheelchair stayed with me. I was fascinated. Anyone with any disability or a deformity — I am just drawn to things that are different. I’ve been dying to do a commercial for tampons or for cramp medicine, where I am bent over screaming in pain.” — Amy Sedaris, whose new book, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People, is out today.
