also, look at all the americans the FBI has gone after hardest. except the ones they were obviously paid to silence.

it's not all violence. it will all draw violence.

IBM: the machinery of government (and the various things they've enabled over the years) and just a really warm fuzzy folksy time lapse montage (mid-late season)

exxonmobil: burning tomorrow, today. slogan after a couple minutes of horrible disaster (natural and otherwise) footage and a park ranger drinking to forget, with a translucent exxon logo on screen. then you flash up the slogan at the end. (mid-late season)

it's true, the coke idea could use some work, but these are all pretty rough.

honestly, if walz had been managed competently, I think he'd have been a pretty good folksy VP candidate. especially if he'd kept up on the 'weeeeird' stuff.

harris was just a terrible idea, and she didn't even push her strengths. it's like she, and the people who put her there, were all trying to lose.

okay, I edited in an alternate structure that might fix this. tell me you wouldn't watch that, with stressed brand managers panicking over what they've gotten each other into?

yeah but memories of long stretches alone don't tend to be worth much when I'm masturbating, so I guess it's really about priorities, and how much you appreciate emotional breakdowns.

like holocaust denial, or child-rape

yeah but nobody advertises to any sort of lefty, so those aren't controversial among basically every company's target market. I might be more likely to go for "glock: protecting trans kids since [year they were founded]" if I were trying to cause a problem for them.

but you don't start off with that. you start off each season with stuff that's on the edge side of what a company would actual buy from an ad agency. then you get more and more. until it's paramilitaries marching blindfolded factory workers out into the jungle, then shooting them in the head, with full gore and horror and maybe one begging for their life. then a coca cola logo. coca cola: an american tradition.

I think he lost money on that, and just dropped it after the train program tanked. don't quote me on it though.

suggests evil.

in the 90s he was such a dick, even peter thiel, the guy who names his dystopian companies after evil artifacts from LOTR, couldn't deal with him. also he was running in the same circles as peter fucking thiel.

both suggest evil.

no other parts though. the tits themselves for example are not special. only in the aggregate, and more so in some outfits than others.

The Boring Company was an attempt to destroy the long distance high speed rail californians had voted for. He did this because he hated trains and didn't want us to have nice things.

that's pretty fucking evil. imagine how much CO2 would have been saved if that had actually been built.

I like my version more.

If you've ever been to the bay area, and this actually comes up in the most recent 'behind the bastards' episodes, the entirety of silicon valley, where a lot of modern anglophone fascism comes from, is made entirely of four things:

  1. reinventing the dumbest philosophy of dark ages, now with cyberpunk flavor

  2. calling the scifi story they read that one time "logic"

  3. "reinventing the Torment Nexus, from their favorite dystopian novel 'Do Not Build The Torment Nexus'"

  4. weird sex stuff. which is sometimes pretty fun.

so I think "they all jack off to snow crash, especially the parts with the fifteen year old" is equally plausible.

then again; por que no los dos?

I would argue that we are not americans. just people who were born here and can't get out.
