Reality Bites. Or Does It?
Love Reality TV? Hate Reality TV? No matter how you feel about Reality TV, it's hard not to appreciate a new series of posters created by a PBS station in New York City that negatively points a finger at this genre. For the awareness campaign, the PBS station designed a series of fake Reality TV show posters with the stinging tagline "The fact that you thought this was a real show says a lot about the state of TV". The interesting part of this campaign is that PBS certainly does achieve their goal of highlighting how ridiculous many Reality TV shows are these days. However, these shows are on the air because they are cheap to produce, and they get ratings. Which makes you question if the execution of these spoof posters is too good, and that the opposite of PBS's goal could happen. That is people will look at them and admit they actually would love to watch a show called "Knitting Wars". We know we would!
