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. The writers needed to remember that just because you swear a lot, it doesn't make it funny and I was a bored with this quite early. It is cleverly structured and quickly paced, effectively reminding us of just how pervasive advertising and marketing are in our culture, and the sight of Ronald McDonald with an Uzi 9mm does raise a smile but otherwise it's a noisy nothing special, I'm afraid, that's far too long and labours it's point. I know - Starfleet Command isn't there....
