Need help with some creative ideas

I am having a lot of trouble thinking of a witty and creative way to advertise a psychic. If anyone has any great ideas and can help me out I'd be most appreciative.

I need to avoid any serious and figurative elements to it. Just needs to be witty and creative. It's for an assignment.

PRODUCT:
Live audience show of a psychic connecting people with their dead loved ones

MEDIA:
Magazine campaign

TARGET AUDIENCE:
Adults who believe in the afterlife

SINGLE-MINDED PROPOSITION:
Your dead loved ones want to speak to you.

You could use the image of a dead guy...his picture should be ghost like...and he's trying to use a public phone...that relates to the idea of "your dead loved ones want to speak to you..
I don't know, just an idea..

I need help for an assignment too!
I need to use the style of the Benetton old ads...they used to show ugly stuff, like someone dying from aids, or people suffering in Africa, stuff like that.
There's a particular one that shows Venice in an ugly way: instead of showing the beautiful streets of Venice they show a dead rat under the water. I need to use the same idea, but talking about my city, and I have to use the slogan "United colors of Benetton"...
I don't really get the concept behind that kind of advertising.
Can anyone help me explain it?

Or you could think of an idea by yourself.

Just how saucy should it be?choose the one that you would want to develop

Have a few ideas:
1) You could have the dead guy coming in the dreams of a married man who is having trouble in his married life & telling him something about his wife & how to please her.I leave it up to you to take it in whatever way you want to .
2) A psychic calling a house & asking them to go dig up the grave of a recently dead member of their family as the guy is not dead...it was a wrong call! Just before he got back into his body he made a desperate plea to this psychic!
3) A dead playmate missing his friends & when the kids are playing in the field taking the ball from them & the ball being dodged & put into the goal Post on its own!

Freaky??? well ...these are ideas...use them or bin them
