New from the Coen brothers!
From the Huffington Post:
The Reality Campaign has released a new ad. They’re the folks behind the widely-played ad that featured a foreman in a hard hat taking viewers on a tour of a non-existent clean coal facility.
In this new ad, a pitchman gives us the hard sell on a “Clean Coal Clean”-scented air freshener that works just as well as “clean coal.”
The ad is directed by the Coen brothers, the team that wrote and directed “The Big Lebowski,” “Fargo,” “The Hudsucker Proxy” and other great films.
“Clean coal” is a joke. Here are the facts. And below is the 30 second spot directed by the Coens.
UPDATE: The LA Times has an article today on the spot with this quote from a statement put out by the Coens: “We were excited to be part of this important project and tell another side of the ‘clean’ coal story.”
