We (Heart) The Brothers Quay
A trio of Brothers Quay commercials. I didn't know they did the RoundUp "dying weeds" ones. Not a surprise, however - those ads have a sick, subversive quality about them. Back in college, I made a half-assed short video that tried to emulate the Brothers' MTV promos. The promos were great, the video wasn't.

wow, i don't think i've seen any of those commercials before. i love their work, though i was a bit disappointed with their his name is alive music videos.
The "Get high -- get stupid -- get AIDS" ad is maybe a little too subversive for its own good, too. I can't imagine it deterring anybody who needs deterrence.
