Stable of magazines for people who think they're alright, but nothing special. 'Fairly Attractive Woman', 'OK at Cooking', 'Relatively Competent Man' the launch titles? cld be realistic, aspirational titles for ppl with self-esteem issues. 'Happy Enough' mag profiling people who are doing ok, feeling alright about things? Dunno, haven't thought it through.
Anyway, SWOT analysis:
S: Brand is honest, realistic, reassuring, values appealing to many in these tough economic times.
W: Possibly subconsciously stolen from somewhere? Brand displays offputting lack of ambition.
O: A lot of people who are like this, probably
T: All other magazines are basically like this already with less explicit titles?

T: from the lawyers of those affected by your scheme

haha - whenever I hear/think about SWOT analysis, I think about feeling like a hostage in board/staff retreats where this is often done, and dreaming about being rescued by a SWAT team.

I had this idea for a line of dialogue I want to work into a script, but I have no context for it, except that it's delivered by a bitter character named Lou, and it goes "Freedom?! Freedom's just another word for nothing left for Lou!"

Also, a film idea the lady and I developed together for a Lifetime TV-type movie called "Speaking from the Heart":

---
Tim is a lovable twenty-something gay deaf-mute living in Minneapolis. Happy in his relationship but estranged from his parents because of his sexuality, he struggles with Eileen, his 40-ish therapist, to find self-acceptance. But meanwhile, Eileen has her own single-parent struggles with her rebellious teenaged daughter. Audiences will cry and cheer at the heartwarming climax, when Tim witnesses a fight between Eileen and her daughter; after the daughter storms out, Tim's mouth begins to tremble, as he "breaks his silence" to tell Eileen "Y-y-y-y-yu-yuh-yuh-yy-You N-n-n-n-n-n-nee-n-n-need each-ch-ch-other."
In the final scene, Tim's parents join him and his boyfriend and Eileen and her daughter for Thanksgiving dinner.
