We're 4 New York (WNBC - 1992 Original)

This has to be seen to be believed.

It is, probably, the cheesiest and most shamelessly manipulative piece of propaganda since "Triumph of the Will".

You watch this thinking it's some kind of great pro-New York City promotional ad - hey, it's got Jerry Seinfeld and the Boy's Choir of Harlem in it after all - but it turns out just to be a plug for the local NBC station. Pitiful.

I remember first seeing this in 1992 during the Summer Olympics. I also remember seeing this next to a promo for "Mad About You". Now there was a show, even more than "Seinfeld", that understood NYC.
