As
I was watching, “Talladega Nights,” on Comedy Central I was shocked when an ad
for a new show came on in the middle of the movie, almost as part of the movie.
It took Madison and Vine, and weird ad placing to a whole new level. In a scene
where Amy Adams and Will Ferrell are at a restaurant talking, these faded white
words come on screen for about ten seconds, on top of the movie, and then
disappear. At first I thought the broadcasting people messed something up, but
then I realized it was just a weirdly placed ad. The ad was for the new show, “Tosh
5.29,” which is airing on Comedy Central later on, but the ad did not say when,
which made it even more strange and random. Overall, this ad was a perfect
example of both Madison and vine, and a weirdly placed ad.
Madison, I have also noticed this type of ad placement and dislike it very much. It is very distracting from the program, though it most likely does work for the companies as these ads will stick in your head for a while.
