“Friends of Scott Walker” Pretending to have Morgan Freeman’s Endorsement (UPDATE with Clean Video)
In the Wisconsin governor’s race, “Friends of Scott Walker” are running an ad against Democratic candidate Tom Barrett focusing on Barrett’s record on sewage. But the ad is either voiced by actor Morgan Freeman or they are using a Morgan Freeman impersonator. I’m clearly not the only one who noticed this.
The ad is nowhere to be found online and “Friends of Scott Walker” could be anyone. Developing. Wisconsin Hero Grant manages to catch the video. Quality is lacking but here it is. Also, better audio at The Awl. Clean copy below.
“Want a Heineken,” asks Gordon Gekko moments before the beer’s label slides in to fill the screen. The scene takes place at New York’s Shun Lee restaurant, where staff confirmed to us that they do in fact serve Heineken. In the closing credits, the IWC logo floats over the screen like a reflection in a pool. Everything in between is branded. In fact, one difference between the first Wall Street and its sequel is that Money Never Sleeps has a credited crewmember (Allison Robin) responsible solely for “product placement.”
