LOGORAMA takes McGrease primetime

I didn’t see this one coming. The Oscar for best animated short goes to the culture jam LOGORAMA whose clip featured a villainous Ronald McDonald tearing through a logoed metropolis on a grease-cycle. The French producer gave his thanks and assured all the unwitting sponsors that no corporate logos were harmed in the making of Logorama. Who is he kidding? He did what Adbusters still cannot, lambaste McDonalds on prime time television.
They don’t use the golden-arched design of UK fame, but instead seat the cop-killing Ronald on one of two motorcycles fashioned from the logos of the musical Grease, in particular the movie versions, (One) and Two. Ronald is chased by suitably Orwellian blimp-necks, policemen in the incarnation of Michelin Men.

I notice a war propaganda film “Hurt Locker” took best-whatever Oscar. And some bubble-head news commentator was saying “dedicated to the Troops”.
Translation, Dedicated to the War. If they truly want the Troops to come home soon then they need to stop dicking around fighting against health care and start demanding an end to the occupation(s).
Halliburton just got another 2.something billion$ no-bid contract for the pentagoons. Business as usual.
So, we get a corporate snub, (damn good one too) and then we get propaganda.
