HBO: The story you could be watching is better than the one you're in.
I just saw one of these HBO ads interrupting an old Doctor Who episode I was watching online. Here’s one of the videos:
We are told that we need to be the captain of our own ships, the writers of our own stories. Yet as we live life, seeking to star in our own stories, this ad resonates with a lot of people. Our stories are dull, boring, small, and irritating. As long as people choose to make and star in their own story rather than living as a player in a story bigger than themselves, this ad likely rings true: They might was well tune out their own story and just watch stories written to entertain them.
What story are you in?
(Quick edit: Here’s a blog post I found interesting on the subject.)
