Seems to me that especially TV ads are actually getting worse. Synchronicity? This one is dripping with fascist themes.

I have always found this ad disturbing? Strength through joy? The individual identity merging into the collective?

This isn't an ad but it's Gaga and it is a dissociative experience -- which is what the other ads accomplish.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951).
