Reminds me of those TED talks horseshit videos. Every gawdamn one pisses me off.
I have tried to support corporations over my lifetime; they are, after all, a bunch of people trying to make a buck. They spread wealth, much of the time.
But, in my doting, I am beginning to get pissed off at the gross tonnage of idiocy available from big boardrooms and corporate headquarters. And, the possibility of corporate involvement in the little man’s life; it is a caution.
So glad they like children, minorities, women, puppies, the environment, wind, (sound of throwing up here).
This video does for corporate advertising what Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat did for movies. Reveals all the glitz and glamour to be formulaic, utterly predictable, and cliche. Surprise!

Children remain fearful all of their lives no matter how old they are, especially the ones that never grow up.
Capitalism is a force for good; corporatism is downright evil. Even Adam Smith, archetypal capitalist, said it. “People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.” The conspiracy, today, is usually lobbying for more regulation that giant corporations can easily deal with but startups can’t manage.
One more thing: Any corporation that is “too big to fail” (meaning requiring a bailout if it does fail) is too big, period. General Motors, any of the big banks…

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

I was inspired. Now I’m going to out and make the world a better place. I’m going to re-evaluate my ists, and isms and embrace a new global paradigm.

Seen it before. Really nails it. Still.

DaVinci’s Notebook smartly produced a version of this very same thing in song form.
