Obviously, many people are so stupid that they can't realise that someone has to pay for commercials, and it is probably going to be the people who stand to gain financially from the sale of the good or service advertised.
this reminds me of the "Reality" commercials, mostly put out by Truth.org about smoking, where they are supposed to be these "hardcore" anti smoking people doing something in public, they even go so far as to blur a face or two to make it look more real...


the others that kill me are when they have the "people on the street" reacting to a huge banner being draped over the side of a building, but if you look at it for more than a second, the banner is digital, as is the "hidden camera" grain.
