HBO Programming Crowdsourced

BBDO New York, along with Biscuit Filmworks, is out with a new campaign for HBO which has people making their own episodes of their love one’s favorite shows to promote DVD releases. There’s one for True Blood, one for Entourage and one for Eastbound and Mom. All are terrible.

Oh wait. Let us clarify. The ads aren’t terrible. It’s the episodes the people are trying to create for their loved ones that are so terrible. Like, really bad. Sort of funny though and, we guess, anyone who’s a fan of one of these shows would probably see the humor in them. Even those who’ve grown to hate True Blood’s Rescue Sookie of the Week approach to drama.
