And they said that the original version of "Once upon a time in
America" was too long.
Well, this 4 minute 41 second "commercial" is about 4 minutes and 26
seconds too long. Virtually everything they wanted to say could have
been said in 15 seconds. But, like Fidel Castro, who is known to give 8
hour speeches to the masses, the TMO just loves to pile an alleged good
thing on.
What I find myself doing as I watch this stuff is wonder what process
was responsible for creating it: the "dictum" from Maharishi; which
cult sector got the assignment (my guess is Mother Divine); the back
and forth with Maharishi ("No, change this...I like that part but
please remember to put in that it will bring world peace...how about
putting the honey spoon in the bee's mouth, won't THAT work?"); how the
entire amateurish look to the whole thing got approved ("Maharishi says
he LIKES it!"); the wrap party ("We did it! We've created the best ad
for the best honey ever produced in the history of mankind!"); etc.
