Anthem

I'm leading a discussion that involves this MCI advertisement. More later.

Update: I'm also talking about this IBM advertisement.

Update 2: Just a quick explanation of this entry. In my senior seminar, I was teaching a section of Lisa Nakamura's Cybertypes, in which she discusses the utopian imagery of the MCI "Anthem" advertisement and the Microsoft "Where Do You Want to Go Today?" advertisements and came across this useful resource, Representations of Global Capital, by Robert Goldman, Stephen Papson, and Noah Kersey. The site stores a number of corporate TV advertisements that depict a world shaped by global capitalism.
