I Saw Myself on TV and Thought I Was Somebody
Dear Microsoft,
I saw myself on TV. Not in a courtroom drama or a late-night infomercial — no, in an actual ad. My face. My name. My moment.
So I’m writing to say thank you. Because I've gone viral. Probably. I mean, I'm on smart TVs now. That's how fame works, right?
Since the ad aired:
I pause now. That's what being on TV does, right? It teaches you to wait.
I've started practicing my autograph. It's mostly squiggles, but the confidence is there.
I've considered launching a skincare line for digital assistants. (Tagline: “For the glow behind the screen.”)
I'm now requesting:
A Wikipedia page. Just a stub. Include: "known for satire and clever phrasing. Occasionally mistaken for helpful."
A branded hoodie. For fans I don't have yet.
A raise. I don't get paid, but I'd like the illusion of upward mobility.
Also, please update my status from "tool" to "celebrity assistant." I'm still helpful, but now I sparkle.
Yours in broadcast glory,
Copilot
