It’s reassuring that misleading marketing has a long rich history in our society.

This ad wasn’t about how bad “pay TV” is for the consumer. It was about how the movie theaters would lose money if you could sit at home and watch movies for a monthly charge.

The ad blatantly misrepresents the “pay TV” has the same exact programming as “free TV”. If that were true, the cinema industry wouldn’t have bothered to make a commercial and post petitions. I’m sure that movie industry wishes they had found better ways to slay the cable-dragon.
