No, Not Another Poker Show

I saw this ad on on Adrants and thought yes, another poker show I get to watch. Upon taking a closer look I realized that it isn't an ad for a poker show, its an ad for a new show by CNBC titled Demolished. According to the Adrants article its a show on how the American dream became a nightmare. I can only assume that this show will focus on the collapse of the U.S. housing market.

For those of you who don't know, the idea of the American dream is being a success, owning a home with a white picket fence. I thought the ad was for a poker show because of the scattered cards, it reminded of the show titled Poker Superstars Invitational on Fox Sports for some reason. But anyway, way to promote depressing subject matter.

w what the ad is advertising right away doesn't that indicate a weak creative execution? But again, this is just my opinion take it or leave it.

The ad was created by Woods Witt Dealy & Sons.

Best,
