Dishonesty in advertising?

I'm shocked Neil

Personally, I sit out on my studio and film little plasticine men as they run around in their natural environment, spontaneously voicing their approval of various confectionary products. I find the idea of digitally removing wires from such a scene totally abhorrent. It undermines the credibility of the whole campaign.
