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.
