gather round, children.so way back in the day, when people thought it was okay to make movies about blackface (soul man) and we all wore bangs, nbc broadcast a mini-series called v.they started the ad campaign month beforehand, plastering billboards, bus stops and subways with ads featuring normal looking people wearing red jumpsuits and blublockers. (this was the 80s. we didn't have ray bans yet.) the ads said things like "friendship is universal" and other rainbowcorn bs.the mini-series aired over three days, and drew in huge numbers. it was about alien visitors, led by karl malden (again, remember -- the 80s). they looked normal, and seemed normal OR DID THEY?on the first night, hundreds of people involved in the ad campaign went out and sprayed giant red Vs over the ads. so the next morning, after people had watched the superfreaky show, it really did look like the aliens had come.
