Truth & Advertising Monologue
[Monologue: Jimmy Valmer]For years, mankind has tried to rid the world of ads.
For our ancestors, ads couldn't be avoided.
But everyone knew what was an ad, and what wasn't.
After many years, mankind invented cable.
A way to p-pay for television so there would be no ads.
But somehow, the ads still found a way.
And so mankind invented Tivo.
A way to skip past commercials.
Finally, it appeared to be the end of ads.
And everywhere, people rejoiced.
The ads were stopped. Or so it seemed.
With the rise of the Internet,
suddenly the ads got an en-tirely new way to attack us.
Popups.
The top scientific minds were brought together to find a way to stop the ads, once and for all. They invented the ad blocker.
Suddenly there were no ads on phones, on computers.
And everywhere, people rejoiced.
The ads adapted. They became s-smarter.
They disguised themselves as news.
All around the world people read news stories completely unaware that they were reading ads, and now, the ads have taken the next step in their evolution.
They have taken human form.
Ads are among us. They could be your friend, your g-gardener.
The ads are trying to wipe us out.
But the question is...
How?
