Hopping right on the “we’ll do anything to increase ad revenue” bus, Entertainment Weekly is out with Andy’s Richter Scale, an advertorial on the magazine’s Must List page pimping the Conan O’Brien show, Andy Richter himself and HBO’s True Blood. Wait, what’s this ad for again?
Whatever the ad may be for, we love the riff on vampires which ends with, “And have you ever noticed that their real-life fans are ust renaissance fair types with substance abuse problems?”
As advertorials go, it’s a good one. So good, it took us three days to realize it wasn’t just an editorial sidebar to the Must List. But one wonders. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
