Nothing is sacred in advertising


I was watching this video and thinking about how awesome spontaneous guerrilla art happenings are. But my heart sank when I visited the link that appears at the end and I realized this was all set up by A&E to promote their Hammertime television series - yet another example of how corporations co-opt cool underground art trends and movements.
I wonder how much the dancers got paid.
