Culture: Television: Ad
Ad Cost Display   (+3)  [vote for, against]

Ever see a TV commercial with ridiculously expensive looking special effects and an equally ridiculous slogan like "Get back to the Yummy", and wonder how many millions of dollars the company has spent creating this ad, money that could instead have been used for adding more raisins or building plastic parts that fit together better?

I think viewers would watch more commercials if there were a reward at the end, and the reward I'd like to see is the dollar (or Euro) amount spent on the conception, special effects, music licensing, acting, slogan brainstorming, and filming of the ad, shown on your TV screen just after the commercial. Thank you.
