So. MTV’s reality show pioneer, The real World, has always been a consistent source of comic relief. Through the power of editing and (low intelligence) we have watched some of the most annoying, disrespectful, angry, slutty people make fools of themselves for the last 15-20 yrs. It’s great right? so why this rant you ask?
I have always appreciated in show product placement. It has always been a subtle, yet effective marketing tool. T.R.W has taken it above and beyond subtle and are now shoving it in your face on this show. I find it a bit suspect that the only place the housemates eat is Subway. Also, when they go into the restaurant they leave you with a nice close up of the Subway Logo and a crispy clear audio track of the housemates ordering. Not just a Spicy Italian… but a flatbread veggie for the ladies(creating a classier dining experience), and a “five dollar foot long”… and boy do they sound excited!
all i know is it makes me want subway EVEN LESS… didn’t help the fact that i pick the local falafel spot for a better alternative over Subway every time for the last 3 years. EAT UP CHUMPS
