Emerson Wolf Ad

Hey! Mean old Emerson forced some poor wolf to trudge all the way across the Siberian tundra just so they could use the footage in some commercial propagandizing for their purportedly amazing services? And they probably teased it the whole way, using the camera crew’s bodies as bait! How mean can you get? Don’t they know that makes it “Hungry Like the Wolf?” (Actually, it’s not only hungry like the wolf: it’s hungry because it is the wolf! And they knew that, but they made the hungry wolf walk all that way for nothing anyway! They probably didn’t even let it eat any of them! The nerve of some people!)

Okay, it’s obviously all fake and digital anyway, but isn’t that worse in a way? They’re outsourcing wolf jobs to computer graphics companies! No wonder they’re “Hungry Like the Wolf”: they’re all unemployed! How are they supposed to feed all their litters and packs now? They’re going to start hunting all of us soon, and all because of this commercial! I knew it! Curse you Emerson! (<I’m joking. I don’t even know who Emerson is, but when I looked for this spot on the Internet, I found there are apparently a bunch of people out there named “Emerson Wolf”. I wonder if they’re also “Hungry Like the Wolf”?)

This commercial is not up online as far as I can find yet, sorry. But just watch cable news day or night and you can’t avoid it! But just so you won’t leave empty-handed, here’s a link to “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran:
