Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 5:30PM I had a hankering for some truth-telling. Sometimes I wish all advertising would just tell it like it is. Wrap a golden lasso 'round all marketing departments and see what bursts forth.

If only I had time to do this for every FYC ad. How do you think this year's nominees should be advertised?
P.S. This post was inspired by The Shiznit's amusing slideshow of truth-in-advertising posters for this year's Best Picture nominees currently hosted by The Wrap since The Shiznit is down. Here are my two favorites from their photoshop fun: 127 Hours and Winter's Bone.
Though their takes on Toy Story 3 and Black Swan are also keepers.
