Really Cram It In

In the past year MTV Networks, which is owned by Viacom, has produced a series of commercials for its advertisers that look like regular content on its roster of channels, including MTV, CMT and Spike.

For example, a short chase movie called “Get Moe,” intended to look like an ersatz “Bourne Ultimatum,” is actually a series of 60-second commercials for Mountain Dew. A series of shorts called “Men of Action” thrusts the heroes into violent confrontations that somehow promote the virtues of KFC and Kay Jewelers.

Does anyone actually watch this channel anymore? I get motion sickness every time it comes on. Its all a bunch of crap reality stuff for idiot california types that looks like it was filmed and edited by attention deficit monkeys standing on their heads. Now they're furthering their campaign of crushing the creative minds and spirits of young america by marketing subliminal advertising for KFC and Mountain Dew. The worst part is, it's brilliant. Remember America: If your logo isn't on every surface available to the naked eye at every minute of the day, you are just not going to make it. Fuckers. - via NYT
