In this remix, reminiscent of some older EBN videos, MrMondialisation borrows fragments from hundreds of corporate TV commercials to illustrate the song “We want your soul” by English DJ Adam Freeland. It’s noteworthy that MrMondialisation also manages to avoid the “blame the people” trope (which some political mashup artists fall into) by having the perspective of the remix be that of a manipulative corporate propaganda machine repeating the montra “we want your soul”. The MrMondialisation YouTube channel features a number of french-language videos critical of consumerism which remix advertising.
