http://www.ted.com Much of the TV, video, film and sport we watch is sponsored by a brand, a product, a corporation. But ... why? With humor and persistence, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock dives into the hidden but influential world of brand marketing, on his quest to make a completely sponsored film about sponsorship. And yes, this talk was sponsored too. By whom and for how much? He'll tell you.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

  • @sh1zlEE Nevermind, I just got to that part of the talk.

  • @sh1zlEE What's EMC?

  • very entertaining

  • Was the guy on the bench from those Dos Equis commercials??

  • BRANDS ARE A RIDICULOUS CONCEPT.

  • EMC EMC EMC!!! we love youuuuuuu!

  • @tabber87 I believe your not understanding his message. His whole talk was about honesty and transparency in business practices. Not about capitalism has a whole. Also for companies to compete in a way the at is not intrusive to are daily lives. That is one of the reason's they got rid of billboard ads in Brazil. We live in a day in age of constant bombardment of information. It can distract us to the point of making bad decisions because of the over whelming nature.

  • Get over yourself shit!

  • Do something with yourself. Fuck!

  • @Dioneo Then you missed the whole point of everything he said and does. And it means that he very well might have failed in his talk and the evidence is your ignorance.
