A local company has made what may be the first "docuvertisement" - an advertisement disguised as a documentary. They hope to sell it to an international TV network. My company helped with this, it's screening upstairs right now, I just helped set up the equipment for it. FML.

I don't see what would really be new about it. Wouldn't it be sort of like the "promotional pictures" of the past?

Not new at all:
Not really an "advertisement", but the same basic idea.

Isn't that the same thing as an infomercial?

That's what I was thinking. Plus if you look at shows like Glee, they are there for the sole purpose of selling stuff.

you can see "docuvertisements" on the History Channel on a daily basis- just watch any of those shows where they show how food is made.
