> I was sure you were exaggerating. But no!

What? Me exaggerate? Never! :-) I did actually spend a minute looking for the commercial on YouTube but YT search sucks, so thanks for finding it. Setting aside the fact it's crassly manipulative corporate propaganda, as someone with a lot of film and video production experience, the production team that made it did very nice work. That's the only reason I actually ever even saw it. I normally skip through all commercials on the DVR, but I happened land on a couple of really nicely shot frames as I was skipping and rewound to see the spot. I thought, "Wow, blatant bullshit but great work!" :-)

I'm chuckling at the comments for the video:

"If you add two pounds of sugar to literally one ton of concrete it will ruin the concrete and make it unable to set properly which is good to know if you wanna resist something being built..."
