Netflix appears to be trolling the University of Southern
California over its role in the college admissions scandal with
billboards for a new show that were placed near the school,
according to a report Thursday.
Bright pink ads for “The Politician” featuring actress Gwyneth
Paltrow smirking next to the quote “I bought their way in, too”
and her TV “sons” were placed around the campus of USC, Bustle
reported.
The show, which centers on a heated school presidential race at
a wealthy Santa Barbara high school and was filmed before the
scandal broke, features Paltrow as a privileged California mom
who claims to have bought her sons’ way into Harvard, according
to the outlet.
In the ad, the boys even happen to be wearing the university’s
official colors — cardinal and gold.
Locals didn’t think the placement was a coincidence.
“I drove by campus today and @netflix is spectacularly trolling
@USC with this billboard by the Arco,” wrote @StretchMcGuffin.
