By jonathan | Published: August 10, 2011

In honor of the ever worsening economic crisis in the United States I thought I’d post this College Humor remix of the SuperBowl XLII E-trade investor baby commercial overdubbed with a new identity correcting voice.

Chevron We Agree: Respect the Chevron Way

By elisa | Published: November 18, 2010

Chevron recently released their new “We Agree” ad campaign. The TV and print ads equate the concerns of ‘real people’ to those of the multinational oil corporation, illustrating their solidarity with costumers’ and our interests in stopping environmental degradation often caused by the industry.

RBC Olympics Flame Trail Ad Re-dubbed

By jonathan | Published: February 24, 2010

I recently helped the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) re-dub Royal Bank of Canada’s new Olympic Flame Trail commercial. The new and improved voiceover better represents the bank’s dirty investments: since 2007, RBC has given about $17 billion dollars in loans to companies operating in the Alberta tar sands – more than any other bank.
