Twenty Years Later, Everything Is The Truman Show. Two decades ago, The Truman Show seemed preposterous.
“We would laugh about how unrealistic some of it seemed,” said co-star Laura Linney, remembering conversations the cast and crew would have on the film’s Seaside, Florida set. “We couldn’t quite believe that someone would want to tape themselves, so that people could tune in and watch what was considered at the time to be mundane, and see that as entertainment.” “By no means did I think that this movie was going to be prescient,” agreed Sherry Lansing, who oversaw the production of over 200 films—including The Truman Show—during her tenure as C.E.O. of Paramount.
“That suddenly, we were going to have all these reality shows—the Kardashians, The Real Housewives. When I watch reality television and people who live in front of the camera—there are many now who do—I wonder how much of this is real, how much of it is just because they’re in front of the camera. It wasn’t an easy production. “I was very angry,” said Carrey. El Parlamento Europeo pide explicaciones al Gobierno sobre la manipulación en TVE.
La Comisión de Peticiones del Parlamento Europea ha debatido este miércoles las acusaciones de "manipulación y censura" en la televisión pública expuestas detalladamente por el Consejo de Informativos de TVE.
Frente a los intentos de los eurodiputados del PP, que han pretendido que no se abordara este asunto, la comisión ha acordado solicitar al Gobierno que se mantenga abierta la investigación para examinar la situación, según fuentes del consejo. La presidenta de la Comisión, Cecilia Wikstrom, se ha mostrado "preocupada" por la denuncia presentada por los periodistas de TVE. Y "encuentra motivos suficientes para mantener la investigación y la petición abierta". Por ello, resuelve mandar una carta al Gobierno español pidiendo más información sobre la situación en la radio y la televisión pública "para que se cumpla la ley". Are You Living an Insta Lie?

The Truman Show - Product Placement. The top 10 most blatant product placement in film/tv. Dove apologises for ad showing black woman turning into white one. Dove has apologised after publishing an advert on its Facebook page which showed a black woman turning into a white woman.
The brand was accused of racism over the online advertising campaign and it later admitted it had “missed the mark” with an image posted on Facebook. The advert showed a black woman removing her top to reveal a white woman underneath supposedly after using Dove body lotion. The white woman then removes her top and turns into a Middle Eastern woman.

The UK's advertising watchdog has released a list of the most complained-about ads of all time.
There are some surprising results. Anyone guessing what adverts provoked the most complaints might speculate along the lines of sex, violence, swearing, animal cruelty and blasphemy. Wrong. A Kentucky Fried Chicken TV advert, which aired in 2005 and featured call centre workers singing with their mouths full of food, is the most complained about of all time. To coincide with its 50th anniversary, the Advertising Standards Authority has collated the 10 adverts from the past half century that have garnered the most complaints. The KFC ad received a record 1,671. Among the other most-complained about ads was the famous Opium perfume poster ad of model Sophie Dahl reclining on a fur rug wearing nothing but a pair of strappy high-heeled shoes and some jewellery. But earlier controversial trailblazers are conspicuous by their absence.
