FunTranscript
00:00What are these clothes even made of?
00:02Mostly petroleum-based synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon.
00:07So, like, plastic?
00:09Oh yeah. Those pants you're wearing may as well be the melted crotch of a Barbie doll.
00:15Ew.
00:20Before you watch this Honest ad, I'm going to show you a real ad about Ground News.
00:25And don't skip ahead. It hurts my feelings.
00:28Ground News is a website and app developed by a former Nassau engineer
00:32on a mission to give readers an easy, data-driven, objective way to read the news.
00:37Every story comes with a quick visual breakdown of the political bias,
00:41factuality, and ownership of the sources reporting.
00:44And the best part? Ground News is subscriber-funded,
00:47which means there are no ads on the platform.
00:49Take this story about Sheen suing Timu, for example.
00:52It was reported by over 70 news outlets, pretty even reporting across the political spectrum.
00:57You can see how The Verge frames the lawsuit as a dramatic, conflict-driven story,
01:01whereas The Street takes a business-focused tone highlighting Timu's strategic response to consumers.
01:06One of my favorite features is their Blind Spot feed,
01:10which shows you stories underreported by one side of the political spectrum.
01:14So I can see stories I normally wouldn't have.
01:16And I honestly think it could help you, too.
01:19Go to ground.news.com/.honest
01:21Click the link in the video description,
01:23or scan the QR code on the screen to get 50% off their Vantage plan.
01:27By signing up, you'll not only support Honest Ads,
01:30but also help Ground News in their mission to make the media landscape more transparent.
01:35It's here.
01:37It's hot.
01:39And it's a little bit tasty.
01:43It's Horton.
01:45Horton is the newest fashion brand from Horton Industries,
01:49giving you the latest and greatest trends,
01:52so you're always serving Horton.
01:54All shipped to you in 12 hours or less.
01:57Wow, talk about fast.
01:59Yeah, that's really fast.
02:01How is that even possible?
02:03We've super compressed the production cycle
02:05with cheaper, speedier manufacturing and shipping methods.
02:09That $5 top you're wearing goes straight from the factory to your figure.
02:13Okay.
02:15This shirt cost me $2, and the shorts were $10.
02:18That's right.
02:19And you'll never have to repeat an outfit ever again,
02:22because Horton adds over 10,000 new designs a day to our website.
02:28That's so much clothing.
02:30Yeah, it is.
02:32Well, don't you need new fits to show off on your hashtag clothing haul TikTok?
02:38Yeah, I guess.
02:40Plus, check out our new line called Straight to Landfill.
02:44This is where you put an item in your cart, pay for it,
02:47and we chuck it straight into a landfill for you.
02:50Hold on a second. Why would anyone even want that?
02:53Ah, it's not really a want.
02:56It's just what happens.
02:58Over 80% of all clothing is either landfilled or incinerated.
03:02Oh, I'm sorry.
03:04Did I burst your little fashionista bubble?
03:08Did you not want to hear that your shopping addiction
03:11is contributing to climate change?
03:13Well, yeah.
03:14Thanks to the estimated 11 million tons of textile waste
03:18that end up in U.S. landfills yearly,
03:21the fashion industry contributes more to climate change
03:24than international flights and shipping combined.
03:27That's insane. Why?
03:29Because people like you and Mr. Hypebeast over there
03:33She's really harshing my melodrama.
03:35are so insistent on having the newest, coolest clothes on demand.
03:41Trend cycles have been shortened from nearly 20 years in the past
03:45to just a few months.
03:47So what you're wearing now will be...
03:49What's that word you use?
03:52Cheugy?
03:54By the time fall hits.
03:56But I really like this top.
03:58For now.
03:59Your insatiable need to gobble up the latest trends
04:02like a feral raccoon in a garbage pit
04:05have turned the fashion industry into, well, a garbage pit.
04:09While clothing production has doubled,
04:11the quality of clothing has taken a massive hit
04:14to the point that thrift stores won't even accept this crap
04:17when you try to donate it.
04:19That is, if the clothing even makes it that far.
04:22I hope you weren't planning on wearing that outfit off of the commercial set.
04:26What?
04:28First that lady won't stop talking, now this.
04:30It's cool.
04:33He'll be back when he realizes he needs more $10 pants.
04:37What are these clothes even made of?
04:39Mostly petroleum-based synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon.
04:44So, like, plastic?
04:46Oh, yeah.
04:48Those pants you're wearing may as well be the melted crotch of a Barbie doll.
04:52Ew.
04:53You know what else is ew?
04:5535% of the microplastics in our oceans comes from clothing,
04:59which goes right back into your bratty little mouth
05:02when you eat shrimp cocktail
05:04wearing your cute little OOTD matching set.
05:08Hey, man, I'm a working actor, okay?
05:10Sure, I wear cute clothes,
05:12but I'm just trying to make this commercial so that I can pay my rent.
05:15But honestly, I don't think that I can in good conscience anymore.
05:19I want to call the factory where you make this crap.
05:22You don't speak their language.
05:24Didn't you see the note inside of your pants?
05:27No matter what the language, they all say,
05:29help me.
05:31Oh, my God.
05:33Oh, my God.
05:34I'm leaving.
05:35Max, can you come get my mic?
05:37Max, you stay right there.
05:38Okay, I'll just go with my mic then.
05:41What the hell?
05:42Oh, sweetie, we can't have you calling up factories
05:45and finding out that we don't pay anywhere close to a living wage.
05:48How is that legal?
05:50It's not legal,
05:51but it's legal in the third world country where we manufacture.
05:56Rob, cut the camera.
05:58What?
05:59Cut the cameras, cut the cameras, cut the cameras.
06:03I love Hortion.
06:05Hortion has all the latest trends.
06:07Hortion now has 12-hour shipping.
06:09Shoes, dress, bathing suit.
06:12Hortion has it all for unbelievably low prices.
06:15Hortion, if it falls apart, it's your fault.
