A Phony Article is a magazine ad dressed up to look like an article from the magazine, with a tiny little tag in the corner or at the top saying something like "advertisement" or "advertising feature". This is particularly prevalent in magazines that are already basically promotional, as these give the illusion the magazines at least have some content. Compare Advertising Disguised as News. |

A common sight in Nintendo Power magazine, trying to convince "nintenfriends" of how awesome the SNES was over the Sega CD and Genesis. Ass-pulled stats were a given. Later, they had phony covers. Granted, they are fairly different than the actual cover format. |

The New Yorker often has a few pages of cartoons by that magazine's regular cartoonists, advertising the product. | |

Saturday Night Live performed a live-action version of this in the 2008/09 season, where a series of Pepsi ads shown during an episode featured SNL's "MacGruber" character, played by the normal actor and produced by the normal team. The style and placing of the segments made it unclear whether they were truly ads for the soft drink, or a parody of ads for softdrinks. | |
