Corporate Advertising Wants Your Soul

By jonathan | Published: February 28, 2012

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 [...]

Chevy Tahoe Ad Parodies

By jonathan | Published: August 10, 2007

Recently General Motors foolishly invited the public to create their own commercials for the 2007 Chevy Tahoe on its website. Users could select from a limited amount of rather ridiculous company stock footage clips, cheesy music and use a video text generation tool to compile their own tribute to the SUV. Not surprisingly GM also [...]
