Can someone dish on the “real people not actors” ads and why they’re still running? I can’t fucking stand them, and please don’t say “because you’re talking about it right now.” That’s bullshit

They script them but can still legally say “real people, not actors” so long as the people aren’t SAG. It’s the second-worst thing in advertising. They test super well because Millard Brown is the first-worst thing in advertising.

They probably test well. Also, I don’t think they’re really real people. Pretty sure one of those “real people” is an actor I worked with a long time ago.
