In relation to the Harold piece on pranks and parody, and marketing and advertising, I came across this site..and these videos too.

See what you you think!

First there's this, I also shared it on my facebook....

A company making fun of advertising...to advertise. 



rigggghhht. Don't get me wrong, the poking fun at cliches is clever and does a great job making a point, just wish it wasn't advertising low fat yogurt.


Next up...The Illusionists, a short documentary "about the body as the “finest consumer object” and the pursuit of ideal beauty around the world. Or: how corporations are getting richer by making us feeling insecure about the way we look." (taken from the website.)
