After about two minutes of this, I was starting to look out for which logos weren't there. To be fair, it takes aan even swipe at the global branding industry and not just the American one, but that doesn't really do much to alleviate the repetitiveness of the project - even if a police chase is introduced to liven things up; there's some flirting that "only tickles for a little while", and we even have an earthquake.
