Badvertisinghttps://www.lunarlightstudio.com/badvertisingIt's a hilarious show hosted by three queer women (two of whom are dating and so in love). It starts from the premise that corporations sometimes make pretty bad advertising that goes viral (any one remember the Dr Pepper 10 campaign that said it wasn't for women??). Each episode they pick a different company and make a viral failure. Over time, the show starts to turn their running jokes that literalizes the demonic/souless nature of capitalism into an actual narrative.Either the pilot (Smoke-a-Cola Zero VR) or Episode 6: The Apple "Block"
