But like all good ideas
(and quite a few bad)
Hollywood took an interest
In the money to be had.
They commissioned a screenplay, cast actors,
And sold advertising spots,
Complete with product placements and brand pairings –
You know the lot.

But we have to wonder, did they think even a bit?
About the message they were sending – or worse –
The one they’d omit?
