If a man is so rich that he has gold busts made in his image, and he chooses DirecTV, the satellite service must be the best? Right? Right? Well that’s not the point of this commercial, which is a good thing, because the tacky star of the spot isn’t the most sympathetic character. The commercial touts DirecTV as a value with its five-month free premium package. “Opulence, I has it,” says a Russian gansta type as he munches on gold-covered grapes and is trailed by gold- and fur-wearing arm candy.
