Truth in advertising
While flipping through channels, I happened to sit through a 30-second spot for Olympic Premium Paint. It was a fairly innocuous commercial for paint, featuring everything you expect: pretty walls, pretty people, pretty people doing things in front of their pretty walls. But I have to wonder if the product is even real and, if it is, if the commercial producers knew what it was. It was touted as an “environmentally preferred” paint that is rated a “best buy” by “a leading consumer magazine.” It’s like they weren’t even trying. Saturday Night Live makes commercials less generic than this.
