wha...

The Consumerist has something.

Quinto - A New Game from the Pennsylvania Lottery.

The Boy worked on the commercials you see on tv right now. It was a fiasco in its own right. Aside from bringing in a really expensive body makeup artist to paint the fingers on three hands, the producers (or whomever) decided to do six people because the last commercial they made someone got sick and this time they would have backup. Oh yeah, did I mention that each hand took about two hours to paint. A job that was supposed to take 6 hours ended up needing 12 - JUST FOR MAKEUP. Apparently this woman has done full body makeup for Madonna or something like that. (yeah, I'm so impressed...)

The kicker came when the Boy and I saw the commercial for the first time with CGI'd faces. It looks horrible and ridiculous. All that money wasted on this woman flown in from LA, first class, paid overtime to the tune of a few grand (or more, I'm really not sure), put up in a swanky hotel, and then flown home first class.

I'm failing to see where this benefits older Pennsylvanians unless the producers are perhaps old and Pennsylvanians. Not that I really believe the PA Lottery helps our older citizens at all.
