I love this analysis, but I have to believe that almost no ad campaign is going to survive a concerted philosophical inspection.

My own commute is hammered with Bank of America's "The Power to..." campaign that, although it contains one unabashedly gay-positive image still makes my hackles rise. The slogan asks "What do you want the power to do?" and I'm tempted to respond with:
"Disrupt the patriarchy, upend late-stage crony capitalism, and silence advertising at will. Whatcha got for me there, BofA?"

Also, there are a lot worse things to have stuck in one's head than Malvina Reynolds. Just sayin'.
