Google Video link. - JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21better quality http://www.scaryideas.com/Videos/TruthInAdvertising/
And another TIA clip - elsux0r, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Wow, that was actually really funny.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Funny? Hell, I was having serious flashbacks to my time as creative director for an advertising agency. The best part is that ***** is 100% true.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20too lazy to digg it... but not too lazy to type a comment...
eh... - meeee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Ok, this is worth watching ;-)
- Stonedonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Or you can go directly to the source, with superior video and audio quality.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1417085460030712897&q=truth+in+advertising - oMeSSiaHo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I have nothing to contribute to this convesation but I will add a coment so that I feel I have done more then waste my time reading Digg. I look forward to checking back in a few hours to see how many diggs my comment has recived and gain self worth through it.
- cr125er, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I think it's more hilarious that we've all become complacent in the fact that the world actually functions this way.
- cubswin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Ummmm... though you are speaking 100% honestly in the spirit of the video, I wish you would not do so. Your honesty threatens the inflated sense of self-worth that I've gained from participating in the charade myself.
- recipher, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Self gratifying comment in response, making me feel like I have important viewpoints to to help make up for my extremely small and dysfunctional penis. SOMETHING IN ALL CAPS to emphasize the point in which I have no expertise in. Cliffhanger question about the video possibly being fake as to draw additional comments.
- swizzlestick, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Your comment was boxy but good.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Reminded me somewhat of the movie crazy people. At least by title i thought it was a clip from the movie.
"Porsche. It's a little too small to get laid IN it, but you get laid the minute you get out of it! "
"You may think phone service stinks since deregulation, but don't mess with us, because we're all you've got. In fact, if we fold, you'll have no damn phones. AT&T - we're tired of taking your crap! " - elpayo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I still work in advertising and as a burnt-out copywriter just phoning it in to make the rent, I can also confirm that this is 100% true.

- sydlexius, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Sony: Because Caucasians are just too damn tall!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2HELL YEAH!! He is such a funny bastard.. although he didnt get much of a chance on there
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Mispellings in above comment make the half wit response seem even more moronic.
- Pyrodogg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4If only politicians would do this. lol
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I remember this from Bravo years ago. They had one about the movie business, too.
- saifatlast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree, very boxy indeed.
Sooo many boxes... - glenfiddich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yup, about 4 years old, which is really old in Internet time :)
... but I have to admit it's still hilarious and oh so relevant to that industry - MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now that was really old. Thanks for posting.
- arachnist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What if everyone were telling the truth? Well, the world would have been so much more quiet... Imagine it - No more annoying commercials on the tv or radio, that alone makes me want it. Oh, and most of "I love you" pop singers would shut up ;)
- ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah I work with some advertising agencies, and that does seem quite accurate.
- spikeyone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah! Colin's the best!
- HaltingPoint, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It would be even more worth watching if the submitter linked directly to the Google video rather than to the ad covered page with nothing other than the embedded video.
You can find out more about this video, including a link to purchase the full DVD of it on Amazon. Just search for Truth In Advertising. - HaltingPoint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm an account executive and this is dead on. I mean yes, it definitely exaggerates things, but there's been times when every person in advertising has been guilty of fulfilling their position's stereotype, myself included.
Yet another reason though why you do not let the creatives near the client! - hitchhiker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The film "Crazy People" is a great film about truth in advertising...
http://imdb.com/title/tt0099316/ - ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Kinda reminds me of Liar Liar.
- countrygirl31, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0funny video..I am only typing this because I am new to digg. I really have nothing important to say, nor do I want to waste my energy finding something clever.
Gee..honesty is fun! - thelastknowngod, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2it reminds me of The Muppets Take Manhattan with the toothpaste...
"It cleans your teeth." - madeingermany, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Thanks, also has Part II - 3 years later:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4pytd6tt1A - loveandrockets, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"At least we got people talking about Paddy Chayefsky." --Studio 60
- diggerphelps, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You spelled 'moranic' wrong.
Actually, I was making an oh-so-hip reference to a moldy old, worn out, once-funny Internet 'meme.' This is an attempt by me to appear 'hip' and 'with it,' even though those are two terms which do not describe me in the least. - egret, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Really old, but still really amusing.
Fart-Catcher. - chrisrosa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1omg...this is older than the internent. but awesome regardless.
- sancho320, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Just graduated with a Marketing Degree and that *****'s hilarious!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4wow i get dugg down for the reference to crazy people.. the movie was bout an advertising exec sent to a funny farm who came up with the idea to just tell the truth. Truth in advertising. I thought it was apt anyway. Funny ass movie.
- digitaldater, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I've seen this before but worth watching again. :)
Dug. - mta3d, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1yeah this is funny, thanks for posting
- jamessavik, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Bush: We had to invade Iraq because the rest of the UN was doing business under the table with Iraq.
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -18/+4Ahh, this video looks a lot like that White Stripes video when they made everything out of Legos.
Oh, you mean it's not some special effect, just a ***** quality video?
And, it wasn't that funny - Klisk, on 10/12/2007, -21/+3It's funny!
It's also a sad comment on society
I would digg it if I wasn't too lazy to click the digg button.
