SFO Moby-Dick Video

Sigh.

SFO has a video posted on YouTube with excerpts from Moby-Dick. At the end of the video, you see the fully-lighted interior of the theater and see and hear a cheering crowd.

The implication: Moby-Dick is a great success! Everybody loves it!

The actuality: the show is opening tonight. No audiences have yet applauded Moby in San Francisco.

Please don't do this kind of thing. It's a form of lying to your audience.

I laughed.
