Advertising in black and white

There's probably no need to watch all 7 minutes to get the point, but this is a very good visual demonstration of the way brand communications are taking over our lives.

Shows both, on the one hand, our social responsibility not to clutter the world with what we do (or not I guess, depending on your point of view), and the need to find ways to stand out (whatever that might mean) on the other.
