If movies were marketed like Politicians. Man: "Cheesefarm" was highly anticipated and critically acclaimed. But audience thought it sucked. Disappointed moviegoers shunned "Cheese Farm 2: The Revenge." And "Cheesefarm 3D" which opens Nov. 2, will be a disaster. What should we do? Woman: Make movies people want to see? Man: Attack viewer apathy! If Hollywood goes under, even crappier indian movies will win!
Actually, this cartoon seems to suggest that movies ARE marketed the way politicians are. Listening to most politicians (from both parties), it wouldn’t surprise me if 95% of all “public servants” weren’t either retarded or certifiably insane. The problem is that the media (the vast majority of it–including the folks who run Hollywood’s most famous product) is ALSO staffed with idiots and citizens of crazy-town.
