The discussion among the Majority Report crew as to whether or not it's a joke from the marketers - mentioning that real ads for it have run on FOX "News" indicates it's something that some opportunistic hucksters are marketing to the audience driven to psychosis by FOX, but that only makes it more real. How many of the ads in sleazy publications do you think are put there by people who really believe in their products?
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

If You Need To Be Convinced We Are In Big Trouble - Yes, This Insane 'Trumpy Bear' Ad Is 100% Real

I'm still not convinced this ad didn't come from SNL; or The Onion. Then again, maybe P.T. Barnum was right, and there is a sucker born every minute.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that made me believe it was one of the M.R. staff pointing out how much the commercial would have cost. It would be kind of an expensive joke, but, then, John Oliver bought air time for his Catheter Cowboy - who was quite funny.
