Australia has a panel show about advertising called The Gruen Transfer - like me, most Redditors will probably know it for this advert that one of the teams produced.

It's a great show essentially talking to advertising people about how advertising permeates culture. It's exactly the type of show that can't be produced on advertiser-supported television.

This is from a segment where they will have two competing advertising executives produce an ad to try and sell a ridiculous concept. In the case above, it was invading New Zealand. This one was to convince people child labour was a good thing.

Yes, I've found a few channels with full episodes, some interesting discussions on it.

I saw one recently where the girl from the "Go to bed, Jessica" PSA video called them.
