News > Entourage Producers Take Out 'For Your Consideration' Ad for Fake TV Show

May 30, 2007

Written by Anthony Burch
First, Fox News reported the fictional Aquaman movie as the highest-grossing comic book film of all time. Then rumors were abound that Medillan, Vinnie Chase's ideal project, might actually be turned into a feature film. And now, Defamer reports that the producers behind HBO's Entourage have put out a fake "for your Emmy consideration" ad for Johnny Drama's fictional show, Five Towns
 
The ad, running in today's issue of Variety, also came with a first-person essay by Johnny "Drama" Chase himself. You can read the full essay . It includes bits of genius like,
 
"I've never been nominated, but I think that the Coulters from Tallahassee and I share the same feeling: I goddamn well should have been."
 
"Being a nominee would mean never again going back East and having people say, "How you doing?" as though I'm a cancer survivor. They'll know how I'm doing. They'll know I'm an Emmy nominee."
 
And, of course,
 
"I have dreams that are so vivid of heading up onto that stage, I can taste the hot presenter's perfume when she kisses me and whispers in my ear, 'Congrats, call me.'"
