West Hollywood makes drought fun with Game Of Thrones-themed ad

Drought, on its surface, is not a particularly fun topic. And it’s difficult to make water conservation entertaining either. Those can both be classified as “stone-cold bummers.” The community of West Hollywood acknowledges these unpleasant truths, but it bravely refuses to submit to them. Therefore, while the state of California remains mired in a brutal, four-year drought, plucky WeHo is asking its residents to “shrink your water footprint,” but is doing so in the most Hollywood manner possible: a Game Of Thrones-themed public service announcement. Perhaps the popularity of the HBO fantasy series will help the people of West Hollywood to remember to only wash their cars monthly rather than weekly and to keep their showers under five minutes each morning. At its conclusion, the PSA steers viewers toward a web page with these and other water-conserving tips.
